About MeThese chisels were manufactured in the smiddy by the granite yard's blacksmith, in contrast with ABDMS004988.1- 4.

The narrow shank would fit into the pneumatic tool holder. This set of smaller chisels were probably used for detailed work and include two dovetail chisels for designing and lettering.
