The RD number dates to 1919.

Thanks gents.

Been thinking this V groove chisel is an old Henry Taylor, however, can anyone recognise the markings?

To add to the mystery, I have a straight carving gouge marked Herring. I assumed the stamp read ‘& J Herring London’. The more I look at it, I can’t see the J being any thing else, but maybe someone will see it different. Looking at the Robert’s posted image, it could be that the original tool...

Hi Johnny, I have Record Herald Coronet, which I like very much. Head swivels, has short bed, and future proofed if you ever decide you need longer, with bed extension being available.

Hi Joe, nope, just as shown and the other cheek is blank. There is ‘1’ on the underside, but so many makers numbered hammers before weight became popular I think. I understand your point, maybe I should expect a knock on the door ;-) I recall an old boy once telling me that if the broad arrow...

Adam, there super, like the fine work.

Hi Mark, I’ve got a few braces & breast drill laying around, all in need of cleaning up, PM me if your still looking, and I’ll get some pics taken.

Evening All, Have cleaned an old military b/p hammer, wonder if anyone can recognise the makers mark, it’s been poorly stamped so not much to go on, but sure someone’s knowledge will have an idea.

Mark, thats excellent, thanks for posting as this sort of service deserves wider attention, well done RS. Having said that, I have a couple of very early Sorby chisels, but way past any commitment from RS and I wouldn’t expect it. However, last turning chisel I purchased from Yandles was a...

S%@£ .... think I’ve entered the wrong forum !

Argus, for tarmac, or any walls you can reach, dilute soda crystals in water, I use approx 2 -3 cups (mugs) into a watering can. This us effective, will stop the moss taking up water and it will die back in a few days. Alternative is bicarbonate soda, but soda crystals more economic. If I...

Very nice, I’ve always turned short stumpy ones, but those tall ones look super.

I couldn’t believe my eyes watching it. I wonder what the instructor is thinking if she watched the aired programme, I’d be pretty pissed with being portrayed as a novice, which she wasn’t and the potential reputation damage. I assume the production company were convincing that all would be ok...

Is it possibly Bowden and JT&S is Joseph Tyzack & Sons. If so, the date could be mid to late 1800s?

When I was a youngster at college, had a Sat job at village butchers for 2 yrs, he taught me most of the trade, although for me it was just a means to an end whilst studying. However, this is a ‘fat basher’, used to flatten beef fat (cod fat) from around the kidneys, into flat layers that’s...

Jacob, great cause, thank you. Donation done.

Hello, Here’s a super old English panel saw, requires some gentle cleaning, however, teeth are all level, appear well set and it cuts very well for being in chest for yrs. Split saw nuts dates it pre 20s, feels 1800s with the nib (for sighting....just kidding ;) best not get into what it’s...

Wanted to share these lovely little finds with the forum, know many of you love old tools, hopefully these will be of interest to some. All from one of my many tool trunks, these were all in the top tray, never got any further once I dusted these off. The little Rabone combi square is super...
