A good 3/4 inch or 20mm large deep carving gouge by ASHLEY ILES.

Usually marked 'ASHLEY ILES LTD MADE IN ENGLAND' on the top of the blade however this has worn off.

The sweep number is also gone however this gouge is a good match to a London pattern No.11 sweep.

Very good beech wood handle with brass ferrule.

No previous owner's stamps.

Some minor surface pitting and staining spots, please see images.  

11¹/₂ inches (292mm) overall length.
