    Default Saracen Improved Hand Mortising Machine

    is my friend.

    On Hans Brunner's site I found the chisel mortiser, in the 1933 catalogue (9th edition) of Alex Mathieson & Sons Ltd, page 54, with chisels on page 55

    http://www.hansbrunnertools.com/Math...lusreduced.pdf

    So it's a No.52 "Saracen" pattern Improved Hand Mortising Machine.

    And the 2 "other things" ("broaches") that came with my mortiser, appear to be "Blaze Drivers" (I'm still no wiser ).

    Cheers, Vann.

    I have one of these but it's a line shaft driven hollow chisel Mortiser.
    The TTTG tool club has 3 of the thump ones.
    They also have the cattle dog with at least 6 different Mathersons.
    Raymond up north has a Matherson and another make.
    Will try and post some pics tomorrow.
