OBVIOUSLY!
What's that?
Any info on the name stamped on it, or approximate age?

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

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!
