Being offered for sale is the antique FRAMING SLICK / LARGE FIRMER CHISEL by "M. COX & CO." (weakly stamped, partial logo reads "M. COX & CO." over "CAST STEEL" over "WARRANTED" at topside blade, see 2nd pic - we were unable to find this maker in any of our many antique tool books nor on the internet (although unlikely, the letter following "M." might not be a "C", so we also searched "GOX", "FOX" & "SOX", also to no avail - very rare maker!!), from circa the mid -to- late 19th century (best guess), as seen in the pictures/as described in the title. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES. Being offered for sale AS-FOUND, uncleaned (with exception of a light wire-wheel at maker's mark, only as required to read it). May require a thorough detailing to bring to its full potential. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED or your money back...no questions asked!
