They are stone masons chisels, used to carve stone.
used ti be hand made by the mason and sharpened to their working angle.
They are a nice set. I mat be jealous.
Those are not stone masons chisels. They are caulking chisels. I got given some a couple of weeks back.

Quick question.
After their use as "Cauking Chisels" is there any chance they could of been repurposed as Stone mason tools.
I ask for one simple reason. At a few sites I work on where they do stone restoration. They have very similar tools for rough carving the stone blocks. Before the detail works are added?
I wasnt too far off the mark then. was thinking lead /sheet shaping and forming tools by there profiles.i've done a bit of research...
caulking irons, as used by boiler makers to pound sealants into seams on steam engines, or on cast iron sewer pipes.
sort of ties in with the huge spanners, which would be used to tighten flange bolts?
