This is a huge socket chisel with a stout blade. It measures 16in long overall. It has a clean blade, free of pitting on the back.

The Merrills were a tool making dynasty for nearly a century in and around the New Hampshire area.

This is a super cool, hand-forged corner chisel made of iron with a forge-welded steel business end. It's unmarked and well made. It could be made usable again without too much work.. it doesn't have a lot of pitting on the back. It looks very similar to the forged corner chisel I listed at the same time, though without maker's marks I can't prove they were made by the same smith. I think it has a great look to it and is definitely something unique. $24

This chisel was made by Dunlap and Madeira which is documented in the EAIA DAT as working ca. 1831-33 in Chambersburg, PA. This chisel is 24in long overall. The blade is incredibly long and surprisingly thin considering the length. It's also especially clean without a speck of pitting on the back. I'm sure it was made for some specific purpose but I can't tell you what that purpose was. It's certainly interesting. $45
