An antique carpenter's try square with a steel blade and a rosewood style handle, trimmed with a brass edge and a decorative brass plate. A handsome tool for a woodworker's collection or rustic shelf display, and a great gift for dad.
This style was popularized by the prominent American toolmaker Hall & Knapp out of New Britain, Connecticut, who used this specific brass inlay design from 1853 to 1858.
This square features a dark wooden (often rosewood or hardwood) handle with brass trim and an inlaid brass shield or heart/trefoil-shaped anchor badge, attached to a steel blade.
Condition: Good antique condition with patina and spotting on the blade and wear to the handle. Please see all photos.
