Vintage C. S. Osborne Harrison NJ 00 Shipwright ' S Caulking Iron
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:3228070 |
This is a vintage #00 shipwright's caulking iron by C.S. Osborne out of Harrison, N.J. Osborne made, and makes, high quality tools for various trades. The working edge has a slight radius, as you can see in the pictures. It tapers down to a quite thin edge, under 1/32". There is a little staining, but no pitting. Just a couple of hammer marks on the head (see picture). I don't see any evidence of grinding marks other than the original surf...ace grind, so the edge may well be original.
