    Description

    This early hand stamped framing square is made from laminated steel and has a healthy taper to it, going to date pre-civil war for sure and very likely a bit earlier. It is very hard to see under the dark patina but right above the .00 mark is the HAWES PATENT mark. Has a couple tags from previous auctions and collectors. You can see some flaws in the lamination, hard to find these old hand crafted measuring tools, get one while you can.
    For information on old tools the resources at Mid West Tool Collectors Association are top notch. They have links collected there for everything antique tool related.
