This listing features an antique Stanley 10-inch try square with brass accents, a classic woodworking layout tool manufactured by one of America’s most respected hand tool makers. Stanley try squares were trusted by professional carpenters, cabinetmakers, joiners, and pattern makers for their precision and durability, making them an essential part of workshops throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Designed to accurately check and mark 90-degree angles, try squares were indispensable for laying out joinery, ensuring square assemblies, and producing precise work in furniture making, cabinetry, and general carpentry. The brass-bound hardwood stock reinforced the handle while adding durability and the refined craftsmanship for which Stanley tools became known.
Antique Stanley try squares remain highly collectible and continue to be appreciated by woodworkers and tool enthusiasts for their quality construction, historical significance, and practical use in traditional woodworking.
Overall in fair condition. The blade has light pitting all over. Good handle and brass.
