Hi

Working backwards:- ? ? ? Vendor = a person who sells something
? Free Stone ? = any fine-grained stone, esp. sandstone or limestone, that can be worked in any direction without breaking
Chisel [?] = a hand tool for working wood, stone or metal

Chisel & Free Stone Vendor. The Free Stone would have been used to hone (shapen) the blade of the chisel.
