Good day at the boot fair this evening 16 pound for this little lot
A Sheffield made Bailey no4 in full working order only £6, I felt a bit guilty, so had the other bit off him as well.

It all very nice the guy selling was just glad that it was going to be used.
He had some other nice bits marple chisel, a box full of dividers all shapes and sizes some nice looking hammer, record plough plane.
I could of had the lot, but would de doubling up if not tripping up on some of the stuff, so I thought I would leave it for someone else.

The old boxwood handle was split and had a hole drilled though it so I made a pfeil style one to match my other chisels.

I hate it when an old handle can't be saved but that's a loverly looking replacement you made there.

Excellent haul. I've been meaning to post the bits and bobs I picked up at the last sales of the season a few weeks ago, nothing this tasty but a few decent buys.
