Photos Connecticut's - Connies - CT Patterns

[Miller '72]

Do we have a dedicated Connecticut pattern thread?
(I can use the search function but was hinting at maybe starting one regardless )

I will take that hint, accept that challenge, pick up the ball and run with it -thanks AgentH

Let's see what Connecticut Pattern you have, how many(if more than one), in action, hanging up, newly hung, or needing to be hung. Show off the Connecticut pattern(s) you have!

I am partial to all Connies, with a biased, home grown pride for Legitimus and Collins Co. in general

Each CT pattern I have is my favorite don't tell my Legitimus's but my Kelly Registered is really most amazing though.

Here are my Connies to date...

Thanks for looking.
Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see what everyone has.

Thank you!
I was extremely fortunate. Basically my first score after joining the forum.
The Kelly Registered and the Rogers, R.mfg Very Best 78, same estate type sale just up the road from me as I was headed out prepping for a camping trip.

Never Stop Hunting.

I think that's how it goes...but you get the idea

I only have three Connecticut patterns but only one found locally - I'll have to move some stuff to get to the other two.

Collins Legitimus with 32" octagonalized handle. Jblyttle found it and thought it needed a new home a couple of years ago.

I have a Legitimus Connie that's been on my to-do list for way too long. You're giving me inspiration. I figured it for a 32" octagonalized handle like this.

After seeing your last work of art and labor of love...

I can't wait to see what you can do for your Legitimus

i need to find a 4 pound connie, closest thing to an aussie axe without the $200 price tag

 

[Agent_H]

Mine is a Collins Connecticut but I misspoke about it being a Legitimus.
It was with several other tools that I have wrapped up that are Collins Legitimus marked.

Older Collins but not “Legitimate”. It does has a whip to it.

That is going to be a mean chopper when you do your sharp magic on it.

A "no point" crown lol.

I also have this Red Knight (another Jblyttle rehome) that I put away with those others that I think I was passively recollecting as a Red Seal.

Aging, alcohol, and hording issues all contribute I'm sure...

*Edit - There is a crown and hammer on it to the right of the lettering just maybe not labelled Legitimus... Can't keep my own **** straight I guess...

I need to get out and check around some more.
Connie withdrawals.

 

[Brian Rust]

I guess you could say I am lucky, since I have never seen a Connie for sale in person I can’t get withdraws..... I really wish I had them though haha. I still haven’t found one. Two more Kelly perfect dbs though hahah. The four pounder was a nice addition though.
