It followed me home (Part 2)

This ol' girl is on the way to my door, I'm pretty excited. I haven't been able to get any of the current Wetterling models I want, but a piece of history does my heart well.

Nice snag! I was watching it, and thinking about bidding on it. Enjoy!

Kelly Dandenong made in Australia. I picked this axe up at a tool sale for $20 probably one of the best deals I have had on an axe.

I don't know made it but it looks like most of it is there.

Good catch Agent_H! You won't be needing to scope out a splitting maul anymore, although you may want an excuse to go to a longer handle. In the yesteryeartools site regarding history of Plumb there is an illustration of an M 3 1/2 without ID so maybe what you've got is a 4 lb version.

I would believe it to be a plumb as well since the aluminium wedge is reminiscent of latter plumb axes.

Oh goody. Something else to covet. Nothing special around here. A Tremontia one hand Machete a Cold Steel two hand Machete.

I would guess that it isn't all luck.

JB probably has some pretty good instincts and people skills that set him apart from the general public just "lookin' for an old axe" on a Sunday afternoon.

These are also just impressions but... I bet JB tries to get to Estate/Auction sales early and he is more persistent with treasure hunting than most people are about a lot of things they do.

Also, I'm thinking you wouldn't want to be in his basement during an earthquake.

All true. It helps that I've made a bunch of good contacts over the last couple years.
 
Not an axe nor hatchet.
But a Pitch Fork we've had forever has pretty much had it.
Gotta get a freaking job before replacing it will be possible.

In other news...
I got the Pitch Fork fixed.
Cut the goofed up end off the handle. Ground the handle to fit.
Drilled a new hole. Used self tapping screws to fix the metal part. Kinda proud of myself.
