A very scarce group of MATHIESON Shipwrights deck dowelling bits or plug centre bits by MATHIESON.

Standard plain centre plug deck dowelling bits are uncommon however these are the first long shank deck auger bits that we have seen.

Used to counter bore bolt holes in the deck before inserting cover dowels.

This group contains three with plain centre plugs in sizes 11/8 (x2) and a 11/4 inch plus two 11/8" with screwed centre plugs.

All are marked 'MATHIESON' with the Crescent Star trade mark on the shank.

Other marks include: 'BC & CO LD' (Barclay Curle & Company), 'FS & E CO' (Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company), 'CARP DEPT' and 'YARD'.

Between 187/8 inches (480mm) and 241/8" (613mm) overall length.

A rare find.
