Offering this nice, clean, hard to find 13" long x 1" wide cutting edge, socket firmer chisel, marked "P.S. & W. Co. NO. 1 EXTRA" on the steel. The "NO. 1 EXTRA" mark simply means that the better quality of the steel that was used was the best engineered steel that this company (PECK, STOW, & WILCOX) offered for wood chisels. This company is well known for quality made edge tools in the early 1900's era, and other woodworking tools too! This chisel is straight, and clean, with plenty of stock left (8.9" steel length) for future sharpening. We note a few minor areas of pitting, but not near the cutting edge, no rust present. The socket handle is very solid with a few dings, and stains, no cracks, solid with a heavy duty brass end furrule very well secured and snug fit. The cutting edge is sharp and ready to use. A top quality chisel by a well know manufacturer!
