This collection of mid-20th century C. Drew tools indicates that Drew branched out to produce a wide variety of common hand tools ranging |
from screwdrivers and wrenches to hand chisels. They are more well known for their caulking irons, cat's paws, trunk chisels, and cold |
chisels. The two chisels, screwdriver, and wrench are the only Drew produced tools of this common type ever seen at Liberty Tool Co. Their |
production, unlike that of cat's paws, must have been extremely limited. These tools came from a Kingston, MA, workshop just down the street |
from the old Drew factory location and were all stored together in one metal box. A number of Goldblatt tools and one Osborne brick chuck |
were also in this hoard. |
