Description

Carpenter's angle square. A solid piece of wood which has been split into 3 equal pieces 2.5" to one end side and 1" on the other. The three pieces are held together by a screw on the open end, enabling the carpenter to form angle to the degree required and hold it in place by tightening the screw. This does not look like a manufactured piece - possibly home made. "CHAS. FOX" has been cut into one side. Screwed together "open" end is rounded - and other square.
