Went to the flea market in town this morning. Usually I don’t have too much luck out there but today I did decent. Met a few people that should be bringing axes next weekend supposedly so we will see. But the first is something that has been on the list for a while. A True Temper Flint Edge hand axe! Don’t see these in my area.
The next is what I believe is a Kelly Perfect from Charleston West Virginia. I was heart broken after seeming the stamp.
Someone obviously saw the head was loose and thought they could just bang the crap out of it. Should I just put it on a shelf? The only way I can see to fix it is take an angle grinder to it. I was so disappointed because I think it was a Dayton pattern. But it also could have been a very deformed Michigan. Please tell me what you think I should do. Thanks!!
