Don Shears Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I found these in the local scrap yard. Both are drop forgings. On the right is one with a 'Fuller' logo. The Canadian one is a little rougher with more of the die flash left. No manufacturers logo, but has a 'D' near the edge (top) and a number '2' centered above the shank. Neither seems to have been hardened. So being chisels or pry tools seems out. Since this area was heavily agricultural for the last 220 years, are they pieces for farm machinery?

Bentiron1946 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 The look like cast iron or cast steel implements of some kind and made for export since is says "made in Canada". They could be something like harrow teeth that are bolted in place Quote
VaughnT Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 It's Canadian. No telling what they did up there! I'm guessing they are hot-cut chisels. Quote
divermike Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Looks like knock out shims to me, but being cast that seems unlikely because they would be brittle. Quote
Don Shears Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 Divermike - Knock out shims seem very likely. However I'm still leaning towards them being be drop forgings not castings since I can't see any sign of vent or casting sprues. Quote
