thriller100 · Jan 19, 2012

ive found a gold mine of old tools/axes/vintage unhung handles/heads,hatchets,knives and much much more !!!!!

i wish i had more money when i was there. but i picked up a few things;

true temper vulcan kelly works 10" bouble bit (pretty bad shape)
a stilletto double bit (cruiser?)
maybe a collins stamped homestead single bit (looks like maybe a baltimore shape....3lbs.)
unknown double bit
unknown single bit
and a collins brush axe hooked blade thing

and there is so much more there i didnt even get to see....pics coming soon

We won't believe this place exists unless you provide an address.

ok so i went again.... heres is the haul so far in no particular order...(not the greatest stuff,but still a score in my eyes

)

sweet draw knife

vaughan "eastwing style" hatchet

swedish double bit cant make out all of stamp yet

boys axe head,no stamp i can see yet very good shape

plumb modified? carpenters hatchet

collins brush axe

unknown double bit

unknown single bit

true temper vulcan kelly works bouble bit...pretty bad shape

stiletto double bit,something strange about this one but i got it anyway

collins featuring an extremely bent handle

......this

unknown stamped homestead,i really like the shape of this one

thats it for now...till next time

Damn, Dude. Nice haul. The Swedish double looks like a gransfors bruks stamp to me. The "Homestead" is a line by Collins.

Nice job!

im stoked,and there is so much more to look thru there. any ideas on the other unknown ones?

Operator1975 · Jan 20, 2012

so many fun toys,how ever am i gonna find time to sleep....between axe hunting,restoring,testing,modding and real life stuff.
...so many things, so little time

An instant collection. Good stuff.

M3mphis · Jan 20, 2012

The Cedar pattern looks like a lot of Plumb's I've seen, but who knows. Lot's of companies made that pattern, it just seems like the plumb are the most common.

SO, when are you going to tell us where this place is?????

cooperhill · Jan 20, 2012

Nice. I like the Collins Rafting pattern. Be interested to know what clues you find after cleaning them up.
