Axe ID

[Arachnotron]

This was one of my grandfather's. The handle has a logo and says "Fire Brand" Any ideas?

Logo appears to be that of Council Tool.

Agreed. Council Tool

I've been wondering about the dates for that particular Council stamp. Does anyone know? I believe that it is pretty recent, but it would be great to know exactly when they started using it.

I just made a call in to Council to find out. I'll update ya'll with the info I receive. If you've ever called Council Tool, you already know that they are incredibly gracious and helpful.

Well Memphis let us know when you get off the phone with the owners and when the company picnic is.

Thanks! The logo is a bit different from the current one. Interested in what you find out M3mphis. :thumbup:

I've heard rumors that Memphis is going to be the guest of honor

Well.....I almost forgot to update this........

The folks from Council said that your axe was most likely made in the 60's or 70's. That's all I got....no picnic invite. Maybe next time.

I may email them again to see if they will elaborate a little bit about dates and stamping. I know that one of the factors that dated yours is that the "3 1/2" stamp became "3.5" in later years.

That's good to know. Thanks!
