What does your wife have to say about all this? Or does she too get to indulge in a hobby that takes up a considerable amount of space. One day I'd love to have a personal tour of this collection of yours and may be even have the opportunity to swing a few different axe types at trees and firewood.
What really discourages me about conventional museums is you can never "fondle" anything once it's been bolted to the wall, displayed behind ropes or glass or squirreled away in volume throughout their backroom shelves and cabinets.

I'm divorced. So I don't answer to anyone.

Whoops. But you won't get condolences from me; I too am divorced and for the better.

Same here brother.

Really beautiful stuff like usual, Mike. You sure got the eye for it. As much as I love the etched Warren, the Supplee-Biddle is even cooler.


You still got all your appendages?

Hi Mike,

Nice additions to your collection. I too like that "Philly" Axe head! Is that rare ?

Regards,
HARDBALL

Great scores!

I am digging the bush/brush hook. I may have to try and find one of them!

Dude. Nice haul. Did you score any of those from feeBay? Just curious.... I've been on a feeBay shopping binge since last Friday (1/31). Got my first pieces in the mail yesterday... a Wetterlings, a Vaughn, and a Sentry... all double bit heads. First time purchasing axe heads in this way.

Sweeeeet axes Mike. I really like your Collins Commander. I have always wanted one to see how it would stack up to my Kelly Perfects.
Looks like you'll have some shop time.

Don't worry, my present wife of 17 years is a keeper. The first one was a dud. She had some issues...all long gone now and I couldn't be happier.

Can you tell me more about the Stohler's?

Very limited info on the net....

Operator1975 More information about the Plumb axe, please. Been looking at a used one and don't know much. Any chance you have another NOS?
