European mortice chisels
I was recently given a box of bits from a garage clear out. the owner of the gear used to be an Italian gentleman who emigrated here, among the goodies were some Peugeot Bros. bladed planes, some Bickert Bros. Files and hand stitched rasps and these mortice chisels , 6mm, 10mm, and 14mm, The big one is a Luckhaus, I think Luckhaus & Gunther , german Cutlers that I think existed till after 1945, the next is a Theile and Quack , who were also cutlers, in Elberfeld. but the last one is by Ugo Garnion and I can find no reference to this maker anywhere. Can anyone help?

Cheers,

yeah , i thought that at first but its too heavy and the head is domed and polished not like a striking surface , the chisel face is blunt and thick and the shaft has the bulging waist, maybe a tin work or leather tool ?
I honestly am stumped.

I have seen a caulking iron similar to this one, the round hammer end is used to tamp the caulk in initially then you turn it over and drive the strip into the groove with a mallet. The end (chisel shape end) should be about 3/16" to 1/4" from memory and blunt.

Looks a little like a ram for packing the sand in flask for sand casting.

There were many Luckhaus in Remscheid. The one with the lion logo was Eduard Luckhaus.
I could not find anything about UGO GARNION, but the logo with crossed axes and initials UG belonged to Carl Blombach:

Tools by and with the trademarks of Eduard Luckhaus and Carl Blombach along with Wirminghaus & Funcke were until recently distributed by Heinrich Sahm. You will find their trademarks on my web site:
