Anyone know what type of axe this is and how old it is?
I soaked it in straight vinegar for 2 days and then knocked the rust off with a wire wheel. I intend to put a handle back on it and put it back in use or hang it on the wall.
Anyone know what type of axe and or time frame this is from? I soaked it in straight vinegar for two days and then wire wheeled all of the rust off except in the handle hole where I can't get to. Weighs about 3 to 5lbs.
Blade edge to back of axe edge = 11.5 inches
Blade width is 6.5 inches
Back is 2.5 inches long and 1 1/8 inches wide
Two points where axe handle goes are 3.5 inches point to point
