The best source for identifying Stanley Wood Chisels is the 1996 John Walter "Stanley Tools Guide To Identity & Value". It's now hard to find and expensive, but it contains all the info on all the types of antique and vintage Stanley Chisels. The second affordable source would be a reprint of a 1920s/1930s Stanley Tool Catalog. The third far less expensive (and less info) source is "Chissels, Chizzels, and Chiszles" by Jim Basset. All three sources are available on eBay and Amazon at various times. Pat - 1StarTools
