C. DREW reef hook

From C. DREW & Co.'s Catalogue No. 34: image No. 67

 

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.

Reef Hooks:

Evidently used to clear away old caulking from seams when preparing to re-caulk a ship or boat.

Usual dimensions:

No details found in catalogues.

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.
