Hi all, I have a Saltley Mill kent pattern axe I believe was made by Thomas Smith pre 1959. I was wondering whether anyone had a catalogue. They were famous for making Snail brand tools.

It was destined for an outdoor bench which would be covered when not in use, still not completed that project.

Thats a beautiful chest and being your fathers priceless

Best wishes Ted I hope you make a speedy recovery.

Hi all, recently picked up a few wooden planes. One a coffin smoother marked Master has a plane iron with a pharoah logo and warranted Sheffield. Anyone got any information on the iron manufacturer ?
