Today's antique finds before the big hunt for gems tomorrow! These are both by the same manufacturer yet I have no idea what they are. The larger one is marked at 3 3/4#, the smaller at 3 1/4#, both Maine patterns. The larger is dated to 1952, the smaller 1954 each under the poll. On one side of the axes is the mark BAR on the side of the poll, and on the other it is marked P T, with the weight on the cheeks of the blade. Top: 3 1/4#, Bottom: 3 3/4#

No pictures to update, but after an overnight water soak the bits are clearly forge welded in, and a REALLY dark grey. I'll put them in for another soak and scrub them with a scotchbrite pad later. Any info on these would be welcome. There's also a W or M stamped under the bit, close to the eye, I'm almost thinking they may be an Emerson and Stevens outsource.
