Most of the old high quality US makers proudly cast their name into their products. The Chinese obviously knew their name wasn't going to help sell something so they didn't do that.

Had one sit unused in my toolbox for years, and when I discovered people were paying stupid money for them I quickly listed it on Ebay. One of those "a solution looking for a problem" wrenches.

IF it was very well done, it wouldn't have all those giveaway marks on it from being clamped in a vise.

I agree, it doesn't have the quality of typical hand engraving.

It's not.

Those axes May have some nice collectible value if you care. You might look into that before you degrade the label, etc. using them.

Condition of the knives would be my top concern. It can be a little tricky getting them changed/adjusted correctly. I switched my 6" Delta jointer over to a Byrd head and have never been happier.

Totally unnecessary.

I had one of the little Porter Cable saws for years. There were a few times it was just what I needed for a job.

I have seen few catalog references for Greenlee chisels and slicks, but know they made a wide range. Many of their slicks have an unfinished back side, like this one, with visible power hammer marks. But I have also owned ones that were finished ground on the the top.

The socket is the same as other slicks, it just doesn't show well in the sellers pic. I've owned at least 50 slicks.

A wood chisel that is 3" wide or wider is generally called a slick. Came with a long handle, used by timber framers, etc.

Not sure I'd even call that a slick. Here's a group, with another 6" Greenlee on the far left.

Picked up this 6" Greenlee slick yesterday. Anybody else have one? They seem to be fairly scarce. Most slicks are 4 1/2" or less.

That is "The Prince" Mine is on the right.
