Make of chisel

[Nager]

I have inherited a great number of tools from my late father who was interested in all aspects of D.I.Y., whereas I have limited knowledge. Therefore I am having trouble identifying some tools. He accumulated tools from the 1950s onward and kept everything !The issue I have is that he sometimes bought good quality and other times “cheap and cheerful”. I can generally identify most as I go along, but I am struggling with some. In this instance I am trying to identify the background to some chisels. I am assuming they fall into the “cheap and cheerful” category, but I cannot find anything online. Can anyone help ? Please see attached photo

yes - cheap and cheerful, but may be quite useable - says Japanese blades - obviously not the expensive type, but usually good steel if correctly heat treated - try 'em but I shouldn't bother trying to sell 'em

or give them to your family or a men's shed or tools for self reliance

Thanks I appreciate your help

Back in the 50tes and 60tes what was cheap and cheerful often did an ok job. Not like todays cheap that can be utterly useless.

PS Those Japan chisels may just get a few takers if put up for sale as they are more or less a set in the original packaging.

what @Orraloon said. Someone out there collects chisels and you'll probably find him (or her) on eBay....
