Missed 'em both.

Both are interesting stops if a guy has some time on his hands. The wagon shop has some interesting old tools including some logging stuff you would like to see.

Yet another great looking small draw blade.

Always great to see your pics...let's me know what I want to look for before I find it.

I like that small sized broadaxe. What's the weight? We should talk.

I like all that stuff, a few things I don't know what they are but they still look cool.

I'd like to have a better look at the USFS axe. And is that a Collins export axe in the lower left?

And what's the thing just above it ?
Looks like some sort of gouge or something to me.

That "smallish" ice axe is svelt. And what is the rounded poll head down and left?

Ice axes are interesting to me. I guess because they seem to be a unique specialized tool of a bygone era. I have an ebay query and receive notification when they get listed. They seem usually to be listed as harvesting tools. I am not so sure. Here is a previous post of mine on what I could find:

IDK, My guess is these these types of "ice axes" saw little or no real use in harvesting, but were used after.


From an 1898 article titled "Summer Ice Tools":

Interesting video:

Does anyone have actual evidence that these were used for harvesting? tia

You need to get a pair of glasses: $57 normal, $40 sale.

Jeez bit steep ain't it?

Looks like a great treasure trove but only if the prices aren't ott.
