      That is for making a bead joint and is used by a mason. It is the reverse of a grapevine jointer. It would have been used inside where the grapevine jointer could be used inside or outside. The pointed end is for use in corners where mortar joints meet to make a neat job. I believe they are available through Goldblatts still although they are not terribly popular.

      Not sure I explained that well. The difference is one makes a concave joint the other is convex. The handle is off set so your knuckles don't contact the bricks as you are jointing your work.

      Does anyone know this maker, T Zack & son also the Isle of Man sign ( legs ) this is on the file
    4. fhrjr2 fhrjr2, 11 years ago
      His name was actually Joseph Tyzack. Yes Isle of man. Obviously you didn't care for my reply but if you research Joseph Tyzack you will see I am right.

      PS: the leg symbol indicates only the patent of how the handle was attached.
