Calhoon Patent Square / Bevel Roofers Tool This unusual patented roofers square
/ bevel, w/ level hails from MO
and was patented in 1912. It was slightly over engineered I suppose, and the idea
as presented
never really caught on in its day. I suppose that could be attributed
to a variety of reasons besides how complicated it seems, and how many
different scales there are, but it is none the less a hard to find and odd
piece. Later when the Swanson speed square was introduced using much of this
squares ideas but utilizing the KISS design criteria, it was "new, novel,
simple, and very popular. It was touted as a new and wonderful invention. It just
goes to show that there really are no new ideas.click for Pic click for Pic click for Pic click for Pic click for Pic click for Pic

Henry Disston
18" Rosewood Bevel
This 18" Disston Bevel is a rare piece by
Henry Disston, the
famous and respected maker of Disston handsaws. Disston offered a few other
tools like levels and bevels and they are all hard to find especially the
rarer and more unusual pieces like this. Most Disston
tools that are found are usually well
worn.Look at the condition of this extra large 18" rosewood bevel!! It is near mint with a bold and clear stamp. It was obviously never used and had been stored away for the better part of 100 years. A super piece!!

P. L. Fox Square / Bevel
The Fox patent square / bevel / angle layout tool
was patented in 1888. The patent number is 390,470 and can be found
using Google Patent search. This example is in fine condition, and the
stamp is still readable on the blade. The collector, true to form, put
a coat of his protective lacquer on it. The tags indicates he bought
it from Roger Smith in 1979 and that this was his 3959th tool out of over
15,000 that he cataloged in the collection. Nice!!click for Pic click for Pic click for Pic
