The body retains a deep, even patina from decades of use, and is marked with the original owner’s name, “A. WHATELEY,” neatly inscribed along the underside of one arm. The tool’s compact, elegant form would display beautifully on a gentleman’s desk, shelf, or workbench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrapers of this type were standard finishing tools in cabinet shops, used to level veneer seams and refine surfaces after planing, particularly on curved drawer fronts, rails, and small panels. This example retains its original pinned blade seats, long brass keeper bar, and slotted brass screws—a traditional shop construction that allowed the scraper blade to be removed, re-burnished, and reset with fine control.  A drilled hanger hole at one end is also a testament to long-term workshop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 9-1\/2” x 3\/4\" x 7\/8”\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1.2 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition notes: Excellent antique condition overall with honest wear from age and use. Beechwood body retains a warm, even patina with scattered light surface marks, small darkened areas, and minor edge wear consistent with long workshop handling. Original steel scraper blade present with a clean, intact cutting edge that feels relatively sharp but has not been tested for use. Brass keeper bar and slotted screws bright and clear with no visible corrosion; all fittings, including blade and brass plate, remain firmly in place.  Tool has been lightly waxed and polished.  Other items in photos not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless noted, all items are hand-wrapped and gift-boxed.
