C. DREW Ship Scraper

From C. DREW & Co. catalogue No. 36: image No. 193

 

References:

The following information is from:

• C. DREW catalogues No. 34 & 36, both published in the 1920s
• C. DREW catalogue No. 37, 1947

This type of tool was evidently discontinued before the C. Drew & Co. "Marine Tools" catalogue of March 1, 1953 was published.

Ship Scrapers:

Used for scraping the hulls of ships and boats.

Caveat:

It is assumed that when tools have corresponding descriptions in different C. DREW catalogues, that they will also have the same dimensions and weights. This assumption may not always be correct.
