When you say small, how small" Looks like maybe 3" wide. Smaller?

Actually, thats a pretty good idea for this one. Thank you.

I have the green 1911 Sargent catalog but it is not listed. I did find it as a Fulton being sold by Sears 1908 (Halfway down on left side).

Just bought this one to see what I could salvage. Basically, it's a disaster. The main body is broke on both sides and one side of the mouth. The adjustable mouth has a broken lug for the adjuster. The knob and adjuster are ok. The rear adjuster is so worn down it does not reach the grooves in...

I remember him. It was funny.

Just got his nice little set. Greenfield Little Giant set AA4. It is complete and all the cutting edges are in good shape, not a chipped tooth. I got it primarily for the adjustable dies in the smaller sizes. I work on a lot of old tools and sometimes I would like to be able to over-size or...

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately no new information.

You may be right. Interesting scrabble like meaning? Still, can't find information. Would not recommend it for a user. Too light. Just doesn't feel right. One of my favorite block planes is a Veritas nickel alloy that feels three times heavier.

Here is one I haven't seen before. It's an aluminum block plane marked on lever cap "Util Plane of Chicago U.S.A.". (Old Tool Guy thinks it's Util-A-Plane). No other markings. It has an unusual shaped blade narrowing at the clap screw area. I believe the somewhat rectangular opens on each side...

Wonder if the shaft + shape was used for a particular task. Seems long for the size too.

Need some opinions on this one. Marked United on the lever cap and a label by the frog United Tools. It has features indicating Stanley made it. The No. 4 at the nose. The kidney hole on the lever cap. The shape of the main body at the frog, the two piece lateral adjuster. Problem is it has a...

Never used one, but would expect it to behave similar to other scrapers.

Another Fulton tool, a slide hammer type nail puller. Anybody know who made it? 24" long extended. Here is a picture of a friends collection. It doesn't match any of them.

Not sure if this is the best category, but I have a hand scraper that uses a blade like a scraper plane. It was patented by Chester L. Britt on Feb 07, 1899 (#619131). The blade is 3" wide by 4 1/4" long, .066" thick. The only marking is on the frame down by where the blade comes out, buts it's...

Just got a Keen Kutter bevel gage. It is also marked with the patent date of Oct 29, 1907 which is Ernest A. King's patent # 869851. Assigned to Disston & Sons. The patent was for the addition of a ball bearing at the end of the long screw so more pressure could be applied. Mine apparently had a...

Took me a while but I have made a copy of the label on the back of the Merit Mitre Box. In my searching I also found a very similar one sold by Millers Falls as model 200 and also Stanley 115. The Stanley added a few adjusting screws for tilt alignment. MERIT MITRE BOX Any type of saw – back...

I just got a Merit miter box with a Fulton backsaw. From what I've found it was made by Union but the patent was assigned to John Tower. Patent #716522 Dec. 23, 1902. Cleaning it up now but here is one picture. Looking for a replacement label for the back. Might have to make one. I think it's...

Very nicely done. I was thinking of something like a Dutch tool chest on top, with two chests below. One chest would have a couple drawers and the bottom one a couple doors for holding the books.

Contemplating making some tool chests to hold all my Fulton tools. Was playing with layout and decided to weigh just my planes. Total came up to 95lbs. Might have to split them up into different stacking sections just so I can handle the weigh. Besides the planes I have a bunch of mechanics...

Fulton scraper plane with 3" wide blade. Taking it apart there are numbers on the insides of the two clamping plates. One is very hard to read but I believe both are 59. That matches a model 59 made by Sargent.
