Chisel Question

[James Ayars]

I bought a wood chisel at the Habitat store today and have a question about the maker. I can't make out all of the name but it appears to be three words. The second looks like "Stuna" and the third looks like "Swede". Anyone ever hear of anything like this?

The store also had 1/2 pint cans of Cabot oil base stain for $1.25 a piece. Is that a decent price? I can't find any prices for that online.
Many thanks.

I think it maybe
A. Berg
Eskatuna Sweden

Spelling maybe off a little..
If it is its a very good brand

There was also a few other names made in Eskatuna Sweden

Johnny,

I looked at it again under a magnifying glass and I think you're right. It's 11" long and has 5" of blade. Some very light surface rust in a few places but that's it. Paid $3 for it.

Wait, I just looked on the back of the blade. It reads "Erik Anton Berg" and below that "Eskustuna Sweden". Below that is a picture of a shark.

I knew if anyone would know the story on this chisel, you guys would. many thanks!
