    Do you use vintage tools?

    50's and 60's era made in USA should be plenty good enough to use. I have my "collectable" tools in an old toolbox and sometimes use one from that box. My SAE tools are all vintage Craftsman, Bonney, New Britain, etc. I'm not a pro either. My woodworking hand tools are all over 100 years old...

    Big Greenlee slick

    Big Greenlee slick

    Its definitely wider than any slick I've seen. It doesn't look sturdy enough to be a slick from this picture. The socket on my 3 1/2" wide slick is more robust. Maybe for removing old roofing/shingles.

    Cincinnati Tool Co.

    I would say late 1800's. According to the spokeshave book, the company was started around 1880. Hargrave took over as president in 1899. I don't see "Hargrave" markings that seem to be on everything in the 1923 catalog. The mark is the same as some of my spokeshaves. I really wanted this one...
