Ship Scrapers:

For "scraping paint from wood or steel surfaces"

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.

"Same as the Navy Pattern and also the so-called 'Old File Scrapers,' being made from the same high carbon Tool Steel that is used in making files. . . Packed loose" (per catalogue No. 36, 37)

"Navy pattern for scraping paint from wood or steel surfaces." (per catalogue No. 59)

"Forged from alloy tool steel, the DREW ship scraper has carefully ground scraping edges and is fully tempered to meet all requirements of U.S. government specifications No. GGG-S-116b, as amended 3-16-66, Type I, Class A." (per catalogue: June 1968)
