LOT OF 5 ASSORTED SCAGEL TOOLS AND STAMPS.

LOT OF 5 ASSORTED SCAGEL TOOLS AND STAMPS. The 1st item, Scagel’s copper printing block used to make his stationary—the one with his black lab swimming across Spring Lake with Bowie knife clenched in his teeth, which is pictured on page 187 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. The 2nd item is a Scagel fid with silver American flag on it. Marked with kris, name stamp, and USA and is in fine condition, is pictured in the calendar, the month of May produced in 1996. The 3rd item, a brass bound folding wood and metal measuring calipers with his name stamped on the rule, is also in fine condition and is pictured on page 186 of the book and December of calendar. The 4th item, a steel die with large “W. Scagel” letters used to stamp his name on all of his non-cutlery items, such as his copper, brass and iron implements and artifacts. The last item, is an older kris stamp used on early knives and non-cutting items. Please note: I spoke with Jim Julia about this, and my concern about this is the possibility that these could fall into the hands of someone who might use them for elicit purposes (i.e. stamping knives to imply they were made by Scagel). What we have decided to do is to file a small notch into the blade of the kris so that if this should be reproduced on a knife blade, anyone would know that it is not a genuine Scagel knife. The break in the blade would clearly indicate that. The W. Scagel stamp, we have taken a small triangular file and filed a line through the center, again, so if someone tries to use this, the break will appear and be obvious it was not originally applied by Scagel. A close up of both of these dies will appear in the book, as well as in the catalog so that everyone will know. I think the dies are wonderful historical objects, and I am sure many novice collectors would love to have these dies as part of their collection, and I hate to deface anything old and valuable, but I think it is in the best interest of the collecting fraternity. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: All pieces are in fine condition. 4-46229 JL45 (5,000-8,000)
