Description

A scraping tool, often advertised as a cabinet scraper or universal scraper. One edge is sharpened. A wing nut holds the plate to the handle. The plate is somewhat rusty, and reads “THE L.S. STARRETT CO.” and “ATHOL MASS. USA”. The plate is attached to a ball which, when the nut is loosened, rotates so one can lock in the exact angle they need. The wooden handle is stained with a green paint, and splattered with white paint. There is a crack in the wooden handle.
