Because of changes in cataloguing terminology over the decades, descriptive information on C. DREW straight caulking irons is not consistent. For this reason, we have arranged information about these tools on three pages according to the era in which the catalogues were produced:

Straight Caulking Irons:

Used to caulk seams in ships and boats. Designated as "straight" to distinguish them from bent caulking irons.

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.
