        Description: |  
| This elegantly simple "awl handle" was manufactured by Stanley as a tool handle with a collection of 12 or 20 interchangeable tips (awls, screwdrivers, gouge, chisels, saw). Stanley made a boxwood-handled version between 1867 and 1902, and a cast-iron version between 1877 and 1922. A reported example is marked only with the patent date. It is about 3 1/2 inches long and made entirely of metal. |
