Getting a 1947 "Old Faithful" ready for 65 more years..

[Elkhunt58]

I bought three heads this week at my local pawn shop, two Plumbs and a Warren. Today I started work on a Plumb and a 1947 Warren "Old Faithful", here's some shots if you like that kind of thing.

If anyone can edumacate me on "patterns" I'd be interested in these. Thanks

I don't know. The wood you seem to have hung that Warren on seems a little rough.... and the eye seems to have some gaps in it.

I am not sure if it will be secure like that.

Yep, boys axes. Dayton patterns. A couple of really nice axes.

Hi Elk,

Nice finds! I too recently found a couple of PLUMB and also a "Old Faithful" Warren as well. I did not know about the number thing however. I'll have to check more closely to see if there are such numbers on my "Old Faithful". Enjoy.
