COLLECTION OF APPROXIMATELY 34 HAND TOOLS. These hand tools, all Scagel marked, both woodworking and metal working, including two braces, a set of auger woodworking bits, a set of high-quality, fine woodworking chisels, 2 metal cutting shears, 2 calipers, 2 sets of letter and number stamps, wood cutting saw, pliers, adjustable wood cutting bit, etc. The phenomenal aspect of this set of tools is that every tool has his name stamp and “USA” stamped on them. It is absolutely amazing how he was able to stamp his name stamp and “USA” on every one of these tools. This includes the hardened steel frames of the planes, the shafts of the auger bits, the blades of all the professionally made chisels, etc. Metalurgically, this would seem to have been a very difficult task indeed. For instance, one has to wonder how can one stamp names and letters on the shaft of a hardened steel tool bit. Scagel bought only the best of tools. This collection of Scagel’s hand tools would be a very valuable asset to any Scagel collector. It would be very difficult for anyone to duplicate this set of Scagel-marked hand tools implements. A partial picture of tools is on page 186 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, upper photo. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: All pieces are in extremely fine, sharp condition. Scagel certainly took good care of all his tools. 4-46240 JL74 (2,500-4,000)
