Need help with chisel info
Hello! My name is Thumper777 and I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. I just recently inherited a supposedly vintage/antique chisel and because of very recent financial troubles I really need to sell it if it is worth anything. And keep in mind that especially since I am a girl, I don't know anything at all about regular tools in general let alone one that is really old. And thanks to some other guys on a different site I was finally able to find out exactly what kind of chisel it is. But unfortunately no one was able to tell me the brand name which I really need to know in order to do enough research so I can find out what it's worth before selling so both me and the buyer get a fair deal. Anyway I have posted 5 of the best photos I have so if someone out there can read it & tell me what it says or if you just happen to recognize the brand and or know what it's worth, it would be very much appreciated! By the way, to me it looks like it says J.FRISCH, but I know that can't be right because googling it turns up nothing for me. Anyway thank you all very much in advance & again I really do appreciate all the help very much. Hopefully someone can help me. Sincerely, Thumper777.

Can U possibly help me to decipher what it says on it too?
Hello Ian! So that's what kind of chisel it is huh? Cool, I didn't know that. Thank U very much for helping me to figure out what kind it is, it is very much appreciated! I hate to ask, but I could still use your help if possible. In order for me to truly find out the value so I can sell it, I also really need to know the brand name too, so that way I have alot better chance of finding it's worth when I go to research it on the net. I think whatever word it says on it probably is the brand but I can't quite make it out. It looks to me like it says J.FRISCH, but I know that can't be right, because when I google that name as being a brand name for chisels or any type of tool for that matter, it turns up nothing. Anyway if there is anyway that you can possibly read or make out what it says on it that would be great. And if you can't read it maybe you might recognize what brand it is just by looking at it, and or be able to tell me what it is worth/amount I can get for it. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back from U very soon. Sincerely, Thumper777.

Looks like a stone masons chisel to me as well. Regardless of the brand I wouldn't think it would be worth more than a couple of dollars as a user or maybe a bit more to a specialist stonemason's tools collector. If you could find one.
Those were the droids I was looking for.

O.K. Thanks Very Much
Thank you very much for all the help NCArcher, I really do appreciate it very much!! So no matter what the type, brand, age, and condition it doesn't matter and it still wouldn't be worth more than a few bucks huh? Well I can't say that I'm not disappointed, because of course I am, but I'm just glad that I finally know once and for all. And if that's all it's worth then I will definitely keep it, because the sentimental value of it to me is worth a whole lot more than just a couple of bucks. Anyway thank you again for all your help, I really do appreciate very much!! Sincerely, Thumper777.

I think it is a scutching chisel, used for masonry work, as others have said. It pre-dates the later ones that have replaceable combs inserted in the cutting end.

There is a nice summary of chisel types including masonry chisels here:
Chisels and Gouges | Autonopedia
The name on the chisel is just as likely to have been the name of a previous owner as a manufacturer.

Many Thanks!!
Hello hiroller!! Thank you very much for the info. I just checked out Autonopedia briefly, But just in the few minutes I was on it, I could tell that it was very informative and should most definitely help me out quite a bit. I will for sure get back on it again later this afternoon when I have more time so I can fully & thoroughly check it out properly. I am extremely looking forward to going back and really checking it out. Anyway tanks again very much for all your help. I really appreciate it very much!! Sincerely, Thumper777.
