This is a true oddity. It was made by James Swan in Seymour, CT. The tang is bent at about a 30 degree angle upwards. It was absolutely made like this. If the tang were bent afterwards the handle would almost certainly have split. It's in excellent condition overall. It's 1in wide with an inside bevel. Strange but quite interesting. $28

Although probably not the proper name, I'll call this a butt gouge since it has the same dimensions as a butt chisel. It measures just over 9in long overall with the blade measuring only 2 1/in before the tang. It has an exceptionally flat sweep and an incannel bevel. It's likely a gouge for a particular purpose, possibly sash work but I don't know for sure. The gouge is in excellent condition with a polished sharp bevel and a nice shiny back with no pitting. It'll make a fine user for a special job. $26

This chisel is nearly 16in long overall and in outstanding condition. There is no pitting at all on the blade. The handle is perfect. It was made by one of the the several Underhills working in and around the MA/NH area in the mid-late 19th century. It's as nice an example as you'll find and perfectly usable. $45

These are the first examples of this sort of carving chisel I've seen made by Addis. One is 3/8in wide, the other 3/16in. Both are clean and absolutely usable. Very unusual. $45

This chisel was restored and fitted with a beautifully made figured maple handle. The pictures should show the details well. It's an especially well-done piece. It's super sharp and ready to work. $45

This is one of those odd extra-stout 1/8in socket gouges that we see from time to time. I've seen examples by both Witherby and Greenlee, enough of them to know that they were mass produced and clearly made for some specific purpose. It's 11.5in long with a capped handle made for use with a mallet. The blade is long and clean. The handle is perfect. The handle is very nicely shaped and in perfect condition. It's an oddball but I'm sure someone will have a good use case for it. $26
