C. DREW Hawsing Beetle

From C. DREW & Co.'s Catalogue No. 34: image No. 82

 

References:

The following information is from:

• C. DREW catalogues No. 34 & 36, both published in the 1920s
• C. DREW catalogue No. 37, 1947
• C. DREW "Marine Tools" catalogue, March 1, 1953.

Hawsing Beetles or Mallets:

Used to strike hawsing irons.

Usual dimensions:

No information 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.

The Hawsing Beetle listings are stamped "DISCONTINUED" in at least one copy of the March 1, 1953 C. DREW "Marine Tools" catalogue; something which suggests that hawsing beetles may have gone out of production shortly after the catalogue was printed.
