The following information is from:

• C. DREW catalogue No. 36, published c. 1927.

This type of tool was evidently discontinued by the time catalogue No. 37 was published in 1947.

"Made of First Quality Second Growth and Also Hickory Saplings."

Typographic error: In the catalogue the face diameter of No. 5 was printed as being 4", but this value was crossed out by hand and replaced with a "3."
