I made a movie about this very rusty chisel restoration. I bought a pile of old tools long time ago and this chisel came with the lot. I did some search about the Sheffield cast steel. It's pretty interesting stuff. Not sure how old it is but I'm guessing early 1900. It says "warranted cast steel" but I'm not sure about the other side. It definitely says "Sheffield" and the logo is a rabbit weather vane? not sure. It sharpens very nice. There has been some impurities in the steel when cast and there's some holes on the blade. This was a socket style chisel but I added a thru bolt to the handle so it's a full tang chisel now. I made the handle from birch piece I had laying around. Birch is the most common wood in here and it's nice to work with. I wish I had a wood lathe for making handles like this. The trick with the drill and belt sander works fine too. The blade had a lot of air holes and forcing marks but it came out nice. I have to buy some diamond plates to get my tools sharp. Thanks for tuning in to my workshop!
