Because of the lack of published trowel and masonry tool histories, the information here is based on other sources that may be less reliable and certainly are incomplete. These include eBay and tools that I purchase myself that are the starting points for my research. I will write what I know as I learn it.

    I recently found a tool while cutting down some trees on my property. It has GLODBLATT Kansas City Mo. I will try and post a picture and would love any info anyone has regarding the history of this tool.Its made out of iron and very rusty. Approx 8 inches long, one end is shaped like a hammer and the other end is long across n thin reminding you of a tool that is used today to scrape paint or remove wallpaper etc. Thanks for your time n interest.
