Ok, so we all know about the 720's and 750's.... Then there are apparently 740's also... I have never seen one (maybe on ebay but not sure) Any idea why they are so rare? or any info on them at all?
Then of course there are the 1251 "defiance" chisels.... apparently of a lesser steel quality....
And then of course the unmarked 720's and 750's ... I have heard these were made in a second foundry (opened due to high demand) and that is why they are marked differently
BUT, apparently there is ANOTHER type of stanley socket chisel floating around also. These are Stanley "Sweetheart" SOCKET chisels.. not everlasting... true socket chisels. I found one on ebay. I have included 3 pics of it. I have never seen these before and all the type studies show nothing about this. Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts? I'd like to hear people weigh in on this and/or stanley chisels in general as there is no real "comprehensive" type study of ANY Stanley chisels. Not even the ever-popular 750's (which I find odd)
