Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966) an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920 he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1] Used to mark the seatings for butt hinges on doors. When the cutter (or spur) is set for gauging on the edge of the door the cutter on the opposite end of the rod is automatically set for marking from the back of the jamb.
