Underhill Socket Framing Chisel / Slick 1.50 inch

Nice old heavy duty 1.5" wide socket framing chisel/slick is not marked by the maker but appears to be an "UNDERHILL EDGE TOOL CO." as we have another that is marked and most of the design, sizes, and appearance is the same.  The socket is a half inch shorter on this one in comparison.   It is 14.5"long overall. It is from the mid-1800's era and made in the laminated process with the distance in this case of 5.50" back from the cutting edge is lamination hardened tool steel on the bottom and softer (non-brittle) steel on the top.  It has been used but is in good working order. It has some tiny edge dings in the steel, but the cutting edge area is in great shape. The cutting edge is straight, sharp and ready to use. There is no rust, very little wear, no damage on the steel. The handle is in solid condition, though it looks like it is cracked it's still in useable shape.  Tight in the socket  seated iron ring on the end fitted, no abused, may be the original handle. The handle is very sturdy. Underhill is one of the well known edge tool makers, known for the quality of the steel and the process of lamination and tempering the steel for long use and lasting edge sharpness between sharpening. The back could be referred to a round-back since there is a large radius cut from center to edge on both sides.  A very heavy duty designed! One hard to find quality tool!
