Baltimore brick set chisel # 357

[SweetD]

Hi Everyone,

Just going through some stuff cleaning up and came across this pretty cool "chisel" - I think it's actually called a "brick set", made by a company called Baltimore - it's a # 357, 2 1/4" blade.



I think I actually bought this at HD years ago, but I can't remember why...!?!

Seems like a cool hand tool: so who has a set, what are they used for specifically (setting bricks I guess?) - I'm no mason...

Anyway, just thought it was a cool USA-Made hand tool that I didn't realize I had, and so I wire-wheeled it and oiled it up...

Thanks maddawg - I did end up looking at a couple of youtube vids to see how they're used. Pretty cool!

Is Baltimore still around? I seem to think they are.

Baltimore was bought by Mayhew a few years ago.
