Ford script chisel

Post by Bill Schubert » Wed Sep 18, 2019 6:57 pm

I just purchased a Ford script chisel at an auction, prior to that I didn't know they even existed. Can anyone shed any light on the year, was it a dealership tool or was it related to the tractor segment of Ford's enterprises?

How can I include a picture with this post?

May not be related to Ford Motor Co. if the name is in block letters. There was company that went by the name of Ford that made tools.

I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

So are you trying to say Ford was a chiseler?

I visited a property in country Victoria once. There was so much stuff strewn around, but not much T stuff. Of real interest was a big old flat bed 10' lathe in the workshop. Heavily cast into the headstock was a 4" high Ford script logo. I wonder if it was a wartime product turned out by Ford to aid manufacturing for the war effort.
