Council tool co head id

[John Dukes]

Hey guys first post here.
I've been rehanging axes for a while now and I picked one up from a closing antique shop today for 2 bucks. It's a council tool co head but it's in a shape I've never even seen before. I don't know if it chipped at one point and was modded but I'm curious in any case.
Thanks!!

Yes, the heel is badly chipped. Might have been a Jersey or a Baltimore Kentucky pattern.

That's what I was thinking unfortunately. In any case, it'll be a good one to give to my dad or something.

Thanks for the speedy reply

Jersey with the toe broken off.

Could be reshaped a bit and still be usable, and with a little creativity it may even be able to not look too weird in the end.

What would you do to reshape it? just kinda take out the hump behind the chip?

 

[Square_peg]

Yep.

Georgia pattern.

Turpentine pattern.

It does seem like it would reshape nicely into that Georgia pattern there. Or something close to it.

I agree, it could turn out nice. Worn as evenly as it is, it won't be a real hard job even. Just watch the heat as you go if your using a grinder. You could burn the corner if you're careless, but it's not near as risky as working the actual cutting edge with one.

If it was me I'd keep a hose or bucket handy and do it that way.

That's actually exactly what I've been doing muleman. Bucket and grinder. Still have a little bit to take off since I've been sporadic about it but I'll post when I'm done .
