My favorite user, a Kelly in size light.
I think it had a stamp in the haft, but I can't make it out, anyone know what it might have been?

I think they were arc welding the eyes by that time, do you know the date on that?

I'm going to be trying a Norton course scythe stone for the edge this year. It seems like the right tool for the job.

I don't know the date on that particular catalog image but it shows the models/branding and the location that the partial stamp does clearly show, indicating that it's probably from that plant, at whatever period it was they were making them in that manner.

If you end up finding the edge produced by the Norton to be coarser than you want to finish with, you might consider the Arctic Fox scythe stone in the American pattern.
