MARPLES PENCILS.


Did you know that they also had named pencils?

LAMB CASTRATORS:

This nasty implement is first seen in the 1897 Catalogue and under many changing Item numbers is last to be viewed c.1960
I do not know how they were used and I do not want to know!
Why would you need to do this to a poor tiny Lamb???
I can think of many Politicians who would suffer and be better for this operation!!

#4528 Plain Steel Grip Lamb Castrators.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DRILL STAND
This circular stand is only shown in the 1938 Catalogue:

Just for Information:

This rare piece of information shows a Stanley Rule and Level Co No.66 Hand Beader box which has a top label that indicates that the item was imported and distributed by William Marples & Sons Ltd.  This shows that MARPLES were helping Stanley sell their tools in the UK around 1910-1930 [Judging from the style of the box label].

Below is a Timberscribe which may also be shown elsewhere on this site!
