I have several Buck Bros. crank-necked paring chisels. Just today noticed that
one of them is marked "**CK BROS - ENGLAND”. It is difficult to read as it is
double struck and there is a user name etched there as well. The handle is the
typical Buck Bros. shape and is well marked like the others. However, it has
always stood out as the bend of the crank-neck is a different angle than the
others. Looking closely today I noticed the crank-neck is round in cross section
whereas the others are rectangular. It is clearly of more recent manufacture
based on overall fine condition, no image of a Buck, and a copper ferrule at the
tang.

Was there a period when Buck Bros. made chisels in England? In looking at
various websites and some past list discussions I don’t find references to
England.
