This listing features an antique 10-inch try square manufactured by Disston, a renowned American maker of premium woodworking tools. Featuring a brass-bound stock, this traditional layout tool was designed for accurately checking and marking 90-degree angles, making it an essential instrument for carpenters, cabinetmakers, joiners, and pattern makers.

Disston earned a reputation for producing high-quality hand tools that were trusted by professionals throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Try squares like this were indispensable for laying out joinery, checking the squareness of boards and assemblies, and ensuring precision in furniture making, cabinetry, and general woodworking.

The brass-bound stock reinforced the wooden body while adding durability and a refined appearance. Antique Disston try squares remain highly collectible for their craftsmanship, quality construction, and connection to one of America’s most respected tool manufacturers.

Overall in decent shape with a light makers stamp on the handle. The blade is pretty straight with markings though light.
