CLICK SPOILER FOR PICTURE!
Found
an add on Craigslist and tossed around buying it and well I did.
He was asking $180 and accepted $140, and had a good conversation with him and it was a great day.
The Blue hatchet is a Powermaster W. Germany I assume it's the original handle as it has the red epoxy or what not on top with no cracks.
The other Hatchet is a US American Fork & Hoe co. 1944 no idea on the leather sheath it has.
Axe above it is a Marshell-Wells Northern King, the handle has a sticker on it but can't make out what it says besides 'Firmus' I think.
The red axe head just has two markings one 'MI' and the other 'I' about an inch below it.
To the right the next one is a Champion Kelly Works. Some bad rust pitting but I might just wire brush and oil for storage until I have more time to mess with it.
The last axe head is EC Simmons ST. Louis. MO with a little circle emblem I can't make out with out cleaning it up. But this has a crack and looks like something very heavy deove over it and bent the eye and what not.
The black painted felling have just has 'M'
And 31/2 marked under it. But in ready to use shape.
The axe above it is marked us91 with a I assume WV emblem on the other side as after reaserch and the handle has Woodings-Verona on it.
The handled Double bit has no markings. I could take stuff to the paint on it looking for markings but it's in cutting shape I might leave it be until it needs rehandling then figure out what it is.
The Last double bit is a Keen Kutter with just the name engraved along with 'Made in u.s.a.' underneath it.
The Pickaroon is hand made and I put that handle on it that came with the lot since it fit perfectly. Was going to put it on CT 21/4 axe but didn't feel like doing all the sanding. I also drilled a hole in it and put a roll pin to help keep it seated longer.. I plan to use it for anything firewood related.
The shiny axe in the top right is just a Husky 31/2 axe from home Depot. I wanted to practice cleaning and polishing so used a cheap axe for practice and to practice leather working.
If any of you would like close-ups of anything just ask and I'll take some pictures
