Vintage Carving Chisels
2x Professional H. Taylor Acorn
1x Mystery Strawberry
VGC
Fresh from a local estate sale. I have lightly cleaned them for the pictures and to uncover all marks. Based on the length, I believe these are TAYLOR's Professional tools because they are over 4" long. I'm not sure if the one marked with a "Strawberry" is Taylor or not.
A. #2-1/4" skewed chisel, stamped with a Strawberry and 2, marked "A" in the pictures.
B. 1/4" veiner, has SHEFFIELD in the markings, 60 degree, stamped with an Acorn, marked "B" in the pictures. Possibly stamped with #39.
C. #6-7/32" gouge, stamped with an Acorn, marked "C" in the pictures.
*I am not completely comfortable measuring these correctly. Doing my best to be correct in the sizes, but there may be small errors on my part.
The veiner and gouge have no damage to the handles. The skewed chisel has a couple tight cracks in the wood and there's a little carving practice there as well. Wood has been cleaned with Murphy's Oil Soap. All are tight and solid. Ferrules are tight and unbroken. On "B" a small bit of the wood didn't make it into the ferrule. All are fairly sharp as-found, but if you like them "Scary Sharp", then you'll need to a little work on them. Please see the pictures for the condition of this item.
I rate these items in Very Good Used Condition.
These items are properly packed for fast, secure shipping. Ships same day you purchase. Ebay estimates shipping cost when you shop or check out and sometimes they're a bit high in their estimates, items of this size may be over by as much as 10%-20%, bigger error as weight/cost goes up. This is because they show you Standard rates, which I've heard are increasing. Keep in mind that Ebay takes 13.6% of what you pay for shipping and tax from me as a fee. Then they offer me a discount when I buy a shipping label from them. The net result of this is almost always less than the Standard Rates (except for Media Mail, no discount on labels), but how much is only seen when I get the label. We refund any overcharge for shipping. The refund amount is determined mostly by how far you are from Beaverton, OR. Once I know the actual shipping cost, we refund the difference back to you. For example, the last similar weight/size item we shipped had a $1.50 refund for shipping. Please don't be too concerned when Ebay shows you high shipping in searches and at checkout. Again, these numbers are Standard Rates. You can sorta take 10%-20% off these numbers in your head to know better what the true shipping cost will be. We simply ask you to take it into consideration when shopping and buying. Whenever Ebay charges more than the shipping label actually costs, we refund the overage. So if you see a high shipping amount being estimated or charged, you can rest assured you will only be charged what shipping actually cost us by the method you choose. That's our promise to you.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money will be cheerfully refunded, no questions asked. We take good pictures and describe anything that might be of interest to prospective buyers. After all, honesty truly is the best policy.
Please buy with confidence. We've been selling here on eBay since the beginning and have 100% positive feedback.
