Vintage wood chisel (brand?)

[Junebuggy]

I obtained this nicely made chisel and was just curious if anyone has and idea of the maker or origin. Much appreciated....

It has an H.D. Smith look to it, but I've never seen one with bands like that.

Agree that it resembles an H. D. Smith tool, marketed as "Perfect Handle". The shank of the tool and form of the wood portions resemble a Smith tool but neither have I seen one with the bands around the wood sections.

JUNEBUGGY: i was afraid you'd checked in to one of the rooms with gold on the walls. very nice to know you are still around and posting cool tools on GJ. welcome back!!

sorry i can't tell you who made that chisel, but it does look a bit EUROPEAN if i was to say country of origin.

No....a good dose of Carpal Tunnel has slowed me down on keyboarding and some long duration travels. All is good....I check in now and then. Thank You for inquiring!

I found one just like that with the bands and the blade was stamped Germany.

You're correct, I found a faint "Germany" marked on it as well. Thank You!
