Ok, here’s a list of most of them. The first 16 are hung, the rest are head-only. Weights on hung axes are estimates. Most of the handles I used have good grain, but I make no warranty as to the hanging job. It may or may not be up to your standards. Prices are my what I would _like_ to get. I'd like to be independently wealthy and make love to a supermodel every night too, but reality being what it is... You’re welcome to make me an offer but I probably won’t take any until after the local tool collectors have a chance to check things out at my yard sale. Postage is the buyer’s responsibility but I’d love to ship fewer packages, so if you buy two I’ll take 10% off the prices, 4 or more, 15%.
Message me if you want photos, or look through some of my old posts and you will probably find a few. And please be patient, I've got a lot on my plate lately and this isn't the highest priority for me at the moment.

75 True Temper World's Finest Dayton? 6 Awesome firewood splitter
100 D Sharp Unknown NE 4 Old. Nice example of inserted bit. Great edge steel.
70 True Temper Flint Edge Jersey 4 Looks more a little more pitted in the photo than it really is. Salvaged old handle.
60 True Temper Flint Edge Kentucky? 6 Another great splitter. Some mushrooming. Handle not worth shipping.
70 Mann True American Half Peeling 3.5 Double bit. 32 inch handle. Really great user.
100 Kelly Axe and Tool Works Rockaway 3.5 Hand tuned salvage handle. Good feeling axe.
60 Unknown Jersey ish 3.5? Really nice axe. Poll is tapered in like a Connecticut, which is great if you bury a wedge in a tree and need to keep pounding.
75 True Temper Kelly Perfect Western 3.5 Double bit.
60 Shapleigh's Hammer Forged Boy's Axe 2.5 Original handle. Little use.
75 True Temper Flint Edge Connecticut 4.5? Beastly. Excellent falling axe if you're wedging over big trees. Started to work handle into octagon.
75 Marked <HGB> and <1897> Unknown NE 3.5 Nice looking pattern, well preserved especially if the 1897 stamp is really the date it was made.
75 Unknown Wedge 3.75 Double Bit. Stamped 3 3/4. Chip in one blade.
40 Collins Western 3.5 Double bit. Rectangle stamp. Good solid axe, lots of life left in the bits. Handle solid but needs cleaned up a little.
200 Mann Special (Wide) Dayton 5.5 Never used. Much of label and original paint remain. On a thin, NOS 42" fawn's foot handle but not wedged yet.
100 Mann Indian Chief Fireman's Axe 6 Original Handle, never used, original paint.
100 True Temper & American Axe Jersey 4 Nice clean and unusual specimen of double stamping.

30 Kelly Axe and Tool Works Wedge 3.5 Needs a little re-profiling. Definitely saw some use, has lots more left. Rare Kelly wedge pattern.
40 Keen Kutter Cedar 3 Had a crack on side of eye. Repaired, though the repair could use some finishing. Slight poll mushrooming but still in good shape.
Unknown Boy's Axe 2.25 Heavily pitted. Unusual mark on bottom of poll. Free if you buy something else and want it tossed in the box. Could be a rough worker yet.
