The thing is I remember buying a couple Stanley chisels at a estate sale for $1 each.
They were very old.
Probably early 1900s. They actually have really good steal in them.
Just like the old Stanley planes were good quality.

Yes, Stanley was once a respected mark in the tool industry. That's correct. But today it's just a name that has been shuffled around. Too bad. Same with other names like Black and Decker, Magnavox, RCA, Bell and Howell, etc.
