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. If what you read here interests you, please check back often and look for revisions and corrections. Scanned catalogs are on Archive.org as pdf files. A few are links to other websites.

As the catalog image below shows, Landers, Frary & Clark continued to make Meriden Cutlery Co. products until 1924. Meriden's products included the Anvil Brand line of putty knives with tropical hardwood handles.
