HR Chisel

[Mr_P]

All this chisel talk has reminded me to photograph the below before the stickers falls and I forget the make altogether.

In the internet age HR is a nightmare to search for. Darn human resources and a desire to shorten a unit of time from a 4 letter word.

Any ideas ?

Harry Ramsden's?

Can't be, no chips!!

Harry Ramsden's don't make chisels but if they did they would surely be designed to be battered.

I think HR stands for Howard Richards.

That does stand for Howard Richards but they ceased trading in February last year.
It is a shame because they did some reasonable stuff at very good prices.

Thanks for the info but part of me wishes I hadn't asked.
