A collection of five vintage steel and cast iron sash cramps and assorted demolition tools including a sledgehammer. The group comprises five steel bar sash cramps of varying lengths, three of which feature cast iron heads with remnants of blue paint. One sash cramp is of a pinned design with a chain-retained locking pin. Several of the cramps bear handwritten black ink markings on the steel bars reading FURONI – SERV, FURONI – SERI, and SERV. A white adhesive paper label on one clamp reads 1149 c. No manufacturer names are legible on the castings. The collection also includes a large sledgehammer with a wooden handle, a detached forged steel adze head, a heavy-duty forged steel hooked crowbar, and a masonry bull point chisel. The tools are constructed from forged steel, cast iron, and wood. This lot comprises the tools only; the furniture and surrounding items shown in the images are not included.
Condition report:
The collection is in as-found workshop condition. Significant surface oxidation and rust are present across all metal components in all photographs. The blue paint on the sash cramp heads is heavily chipped and worn (photos 1, 4, and 5). The wooden sledgehammer handle shows age-related weathering and minor cracking (photo 2). The adze head is missing its haft (photo 2). The screw mechanisms appear complete but will require cleaning and lubrication due to pervasive rusting.
