Today's Featured Tool Description

Unmarked : Spectacular Ship Wright's Tool Box. Rosewood, Chestnut. Elaborate Panels. Length: 42.00 Inches. An absolutely extraordinary AMERICAN MADE SHIPWRIGHT'S TOOL CHEST finely crafted from an array of hardwoods including rosewood, boxwood, sycamore ash and a variety of other native woods. Raised carvings of veneered rosewood accent the intricate and altogether different pattern of drawers and trays. Hand crafted by New York City ship finish carpenter P.A. Travers in the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century, this highly embellished tool chest is executed in the tradition of the great English chests, but goes them one better by deviating from convention and using innovative design and native materials. The outside of the chest is finished in the original dark green paint and Travers' name is hand lettered on the face of the box. If you are seeking a chest to be a focal point of an antique tool collection, we highly recommend this spectacular piece of American furniture. Extraordinary. (GOOD+). This item was sold on April 19, 2020 for $1,700.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions

jpg_file Lot 390. A SUPERB NATIVE AMERICAN BURL WOOD WAR CLUB ATTRIBUTED TO THE PENOBSCOT TRIBE OF MAINE. This dangerous looking club was found many, many years ago in the State of Maine. It is carved on the side with floral carving and the lower section of the handle has a series of grooves to facilitate the grip of the user. The well preserved nature of this early weapon, which has only a small chip from the tip of one of the protruding horns from the burl head to note as an "apology", suggests that this weapon may have been more ceremonial than an actual weapon of war. (FINE).(300.00 - 600.00) Length: 18 Inches.
