Any help?

Is it a wood-turning tool (for use with a lathe) rather than a chisel?

OBVIOUSLY!

What's that?

Any info on the name stamped on it, or approximate age?

Definitely not for turning.

You could try posting this on rec.woodworking, as someone there may
have an idea about the chisel. Googling "C. B. Curtis" didn't seem to
come up with any leads, but there's a few folks over there with
knowledge of the arcane. Tom

Looks like it's a corner chisel, used for squaring the corners of
mortises, like this:

Well, it's hard to tell from the picture. At first it looked like a
corner chisel to me, but now that I look at it again, I don't think it
is.

That's a cranked neck chisel made by Peck, Stowe & Wilcox (the P of
P.S.&W. was probably missed by the seller or it was too lightly struck
at the factory - it happens). Here's a link to one seller producing
current cranked neck chisels.
http://www.henrytaylortools.co.uk/wwchisel.html and this is a link to
a brief history of PS&W: http://www.sydnassloot.com/Brace/PSW.htm PS&W
also produced equipment for the metal working trades under the PEXTO
name. Their shears, punches, etc. are much sought after.

I don't know if that is an original handle and the ferrule looks like a
replacement - they just don't look right. If I had to take a stab at a
date, I'd guess sometime around the 40's or 50's. Might even be later,
but it's hard to tell. I think PS&W stopped producing tools in the
60's

I collect antique tools. I was hoping you'd stump me!

If I did that, what would we need newsgroups for?

Maybe just for your flaming and abuse?

Thanks a lot. I had to wade through a couple of anklebiters here in the
newsgroup, and it is really nice to have someone post a civil lucid answer.
This is something that everyone can learn a little bit from.

Except for the anklebiters who will continue to rant and flame. Guess they
don't do anything in the way of building or repairing anything, just
kvetching about everything. And they already know everything, anyway.

A special thank you to the Net newsgroup netnanny Nazi. Once again, you
have made a total idiot of yourself. Keep up the good work.

Make that a 'pussified, whining' spoiled little ****.

You must get your ass kicked a lot by those that know you just on
general principal.

Now quit humping legs under the table and go fetch the little red ball
bitch.

This is Turtle.

That is the Lathe shaving tool but also i had a uncle who made wooded animal on
mail boxes and door step Rails and he would shave the metal head in curves or
different shapes and use a wooden hammer to cut out a wooden animal out of 4 x 4
or large tree trunks 25" in dia. . He also cut a Eagle out of a 3 foot long tree
trunk about 25" in Dia. . You can take a grinder and make different cutting
tools out of this one tool. It maybe worth $10.00 if you was going to really use
that type of tools.

TURTLE

I think the OP is the seller of the tool, no? Tom

While we're all feeling at liberty to share...

I see you've modified the listing and included the links I posted. You
probably should have expended a _little_ effort. Those weren't the
best links by any means, they were just quick searches that I included
in my post to illustrate. "Helping to define lazy since..." when did
you say you were born?

You omitted the term "cranked neck" and added corner chisel. Ding. Do
an eBay search for a corner chisel - it's an entirely different animal.
A corner chisel is also called a bruzz, and what you have isn't one.
The term "cranked chisel, crank chisel, cranked neck" would be the best
eBay search to find what you have. You're limiting your potential
bidder viewership by having it mislabeled. If you wanted to indicate
one of its uses, you could mention in the listing that it's used to
clean up interior corners.

No credit given in the listing. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I looked through pages of Google looking at antique chisel, the name, S&W,
all sorts of things. I DID spend some time on it. I just couldn't find
anything.

I appreciate your help.

I misquoted the proper term for the chisel, but will go now and correct it.
I had a traumatic brain injury one year and two days ago, and I don't
remember things as well as I used to.

My research and reading skills are also diminished. So, I just try to do my
best.

What? Since EBAY forbids him from spamming the newsgroups with his,

Be nice if the picture didn't have that dumb-asss camera overlay
right over the top of the cutting edge.
