Vintage Stanley chisels
I have just loaded up my Stanley chisels web page
I have included a pic of two seldom encountered Stanley's:
1.75" wide No. 161 tang butt chisel
Bottom: 1.50" wide No. 1750 socket butt chisel

The last two chisels I picked up were identical models! The no.161 (although a 1/2") was with a bundle of Bergs, and the no,1750 isn't as everlasting as it once was...
cheers,

Web Page
Hi James
I have just had a quick scan of your web page. What an interesting 'snapshot' in time. I have book marked it and will read it at greater length later. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Cheers
Jim

I like the Tyzack saws , I have three ,one similar to the one on your website , and a very early open handled dove tail saw , and a interchangeable compass saw ,unfortunately the compass saw has on the one blade.
here are some images of some of my saws
1 the two Tyzacks
2 the dovetail saw handle
3 the branding on the brass backed tenon saw
4 a Superior Warranted ,this is a large heavy saw i use it for general work .
I have quite a few that need restoration ,three or four Disstons , a John Cockerill , and a Murray Bros with a London pattern handle .Possibly known as a kitchen saw by the Tyzack catalogue on your website .

Hi James. I have some of those in black stanloid. Never quite reached a full set due to the higher asking prices in the USA the last couple of years. The other Stanley chisels I have are 750s with 1 or 2 of less common types.

Thanks for the input, Stewie. Do your black stanloid chisels have the Stanley stamping on the blade or on the plastic handle?
Thank you for the response, Stewie -- please excuse my tardy reply. The reason for my question is that I had read that Stanley plastic handled socket chisels were stamped on the sockets prior to WWII and on the handles after the war. I am trying to verify that information.

Hi James. As far as I am aware the Black Stanloid Chisels that Stanley manufactured had all the markings on the chisel handles. Possibly around 1960 Stanley changed the color from the Black Stanloid to a two tone composite material. As you will see in the attached photo Stanley also moved their markings onto the chisel sockets.

Actually the No. 60 chisels depicted in Jon Zimmer's photo and here ..........
.......... were introduced in 1930 and were originally stamped this way.
The black plastic handled chisels (R40 & R50) were introduced in the late 1930s -- it is late at night here now, but I will dig out my 1939 Stanley catalog tomorrow and check to be sure they are listed there.
