Axe head ID

[jblyttle]

This one looks nice. It is a slightly smaller head, 3.1lbs, not much damage at all, looks old and hand forged, a DEEP temper line and a fairly wedged shape. There is only a partial name that I can see. Any ideas?

North Wayne Tool Co. (Oakland, Maine)
is my guess.

Steve didn't even have to research that one! :thumbup:

It's becoming scary lol. Thanks Steve, I think that you nailed it, and the wedge shape seals it for me.

He's right on the money. I have one with the same (but complete) mark.

Seems most maine patterns have the deep temper. Both of my emmerson and Stevens pine tee axes have them, same with my TBA triple diamond.

The eye is slightly bulged from the hammering on the poll. But I bet it would hammer back in easily even at low heat.
