One of the finest Stanley long chisels that I've ever offered. I've included plenty of photos to help you see all features clearly. This is an early pre-numbers 720 style - it is my LAST (and BEST) antique Stanley of this type & age. The handle features the early shade of classic Stanley Red Handle 700-Series chisels - one of several known shades over the decades - it has the deep rich mahogany red shade (color) on the hickory. I prefer to keep the original finish intact on these early Stanley hickory "Red Handle" chisels whenever possible, and this case was a no-brainer. So I only did very minimal restoration on this example; fresh dye/oil the leather cap to preserve it; plus, a very light clear coat of high-grade waxless shellac was used to encapsulate the original lacquer finish, to protect and preserve it, and keep it from chipping or peeling. The handle has a few dings as pics show, and I think they actually add some nice character to the aging of the tool overall.
