The STANLEY MARPLES chisel.

Just fitted together, but happens to be the handle off a push drill

The two parts are bad enough on their own: horrible plastic handle and yucky rusty blade, but to combine them and make something that is even worse is an achievement!

Alas cannot take your credit for this achievement but as it is this has not turned out to be a bad bit of kit for the perpetrator.
The handle has taken some heavy battering and survived (hammer)
The blade, I dare say, under that rough exterior has a quality of steel most would cherish.

The shape of the chisel neck/bolster is unusual though :?

Indeed. Nothing quite like it in my new 1928 Marples catalogue, unless it was a turner's chisel, which were fairly heavy but supplied tangless. The way that the width swells outwards is odd. Have you removed the ingeniously repurposed handle to see if there is a proper tang, or some sort of smaller spike behind the widest part, that might have gone into a late-model plastic handle? (How late would they still be using and marking Cast Steel as a selling point?)
