Description
Stanley No. 45 “Everlasting” Sweetheart square edge pocket chisel. 1/2″ wide. Sold between 1911 and 1935. This one is marked with the Sweetheart logo which puts it after 1921. Also marked Made in USA, Patent 5-6-24. These chisels were 9″ long when they were sold and this one isn’t any less than that. These chisels were described as everlasting because of the tang which went all the way through the hickory handle. Great chisel and in amazing condition for being around 100 years old. A real collector’s piece.
Excellent condition. Some minor surface blemishes, but may well polish out. Appears to have the original grind on the top and sides. Not sure about the underside – it may be original or improved. Difficult to say. Handle looks mint. Jim Bode had a set of these go for nearly US$1000 and they didn’t look this good.
Sold by Old Tool Shop, from NSW Australia on Ebay and shipped worldwide. See listing here: Ebay Listing: Stanley No. 45 Square Edge Pocket Chisel
