Astonishing Auctions

[Yankee Josh]

Lost they mind on the Craigslist too.600

Oh my word... with all of the nice ones out there I wouldn't have spent more than a hundred bucks on that one. Lost their minds is right!

Not so astonishing but somebody just scored a Plumb Dreadnaught rafter from the old Butte mine. Not permabond but the handle looks period. The axe might have come from a shipment of un-hung axes to the mine. It's not a waffle poll.

So, I think this auction qualifies as astonishing for sure, but maybe for a different reason than usual.

You guys have no idea what an astonishing auction is.

 

[Yankee Josh]

I know I've long been at least a little curious what kind of money exchanges hands.

I’m pretty sure this is the cheesiest axe. Or shall I say dangerously cheesy.

And I know I’m deal shopping by posting a live auction but I’m confident that nobody’s finger is hovering over the buy it now button at this very moment. And it’s too good to miss so I’ll accept the warning.

Woah! That’s too expensive you say?
Or maybe a fire axe is more your thing, how bout this flaming Cheeto? He would take an offer...

I don’t know. For me, it’s more fun to hunt for them in the wild. You know, it ain’t easy being cheesy.

Speaking of auctions, anyone see what the axe used by Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubricks film The Shining went for?

Now that's an auction.

I was wondering about that axe just the other day when I talked my wife into watching the Shining with me because she had never seen it. Looked like maybe a six pounder?

Whooo! Thats a lot a clams

200k for an axe that probably needs a good filing? Pfft. Overpayed.

 

[Yankee Josh]

$210,000 in case folks don't want to look it up. Crazy amount!

 

[Miller '72]

Welcome to Hollywood!

Jack Nicholson man...very cool

 

[Yankee Josh]

Did any of you guys see this one?

Pretty darn sweet if you ask me!
But what's the mark on the off side? I thought that was something Plumb did even though I don't recognize that particular mark as being theirs. Have any of you seen that before?
Edit; I should add that this is a Kelly.

 

[Square_peg]

Beautiful axe!

 

[Hairy Clipper]

Josh-I was watching it and didn't do any bidding, it is just too pretty to use. I sure do like it though. Just a penny short of of $490. It looks like we should have invested in axe futures, eh?

Not an auction but this one is astonishing to me. Since I recently got one for a whole lot less.
