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 catalogue No. 59 was published in 1959.

Box Scrapers:

The specific function of this tool type has not been ascertained.

Caveat:

It is assumed in the listings presented below, 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.

"Wood Handles. Cast Steel Blades [or 'Crucible Tool Steel Blades']"
