    Default Search for Chisel Maker

    Apart from Titan Chisels, the McPhersons Catalogue also listed English Made Chisels.

    If anyone has one of these catalogues, could check to see if a if ROBINSON HALL/SHEFFIELD is included in the catalogues index or listing.

    This Company manufactured Joinery Tools from about 1942 - 1974. They used a Scottish Thistle in their trademark

    Your help would be much appreciated. I am trying to compile a history on this tool maker.

    hi planemaker, my McPherson's Industrial Catalog is from the late1960s (it does not actually have a date that I can find but I was told by the previous owner that it was from 1968), has an index of products but does not index the manufacturers.

    This catalog has two pages that contain woodworking chisels. Page 656 has various Titan wood chisels and a listing for 'Patternmaker's Chisels' but no accompanying photo for the Patternmaker's chisels so the manufacturer is unknown and Titan is not known to have made these.

    Page 657 has further Titan models, a couple of Berg's chisel styles, a Marples turning set, Millers Falls carving chisels and gouges, some Chip Carving tools, and in the middle of all that, 'Turning Chisels' and a 'Parting Tool' with no maker listed and no photo to identify them.

    Sadly nothing to identify anything as Robinson Hall
