SWEET MOTHER!!!!! Some great stuff there, JB.

I've never seen a peavey like that. Must be very old.

And what's is that thing below bench vise? Some sort of jig or machinist vise?

BTW, I am totally aware of and completely thankful for the location that I live in. Yes, I have a nose for hunting this stuff, and yes I have built a network, but I live in the best area in the country for this stuff. It's definitely a combination of my hunting skills and the fruitfulness of the hunting grounds.

When you consider the fun of the hunt, it was worth it. What's that Case knife, it's interesting. I love pocket knives.

I just hate when my brain starts playing games with me. For example: Oh, I drove soooooo many miles so I need to buy something and I end up with stuff I really do not need. Stop it!!! It was actually fun: I do not own any llamas or even a mule so I bought WW2 Awkward Load Carrying Frame :) https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.carryology.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/image-51.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.carryology.com/bags/external-frame-backpacks-applying-the-old-ways-to-the-new-journeys-part-2/&docid=Dc9Vgkv9mIGKMM&tbnid=v2be31onhdK_TM:&vet=10ahUKEwiGjbr46s7aAhVsdt8KHYNIB8EQMwg7KAUwBQ..i&w=660&h=304&client=firefox-b-1&bih=654&biw=1366&q=awkward load carrying frame&ved=0ahUKEwiGjbr46s7aAhVsdt8KHYNIB8EQMwg7KAUwBQ&iact=mrc&uact=8

I agree. Very rich area in New England with hot pockets of specialty industry and their tools.
The fruits of your labor are the proof in the pudding JB...
Keep up the good work:thumbsup::cool:I for one appreciate it!


So no for sale signs in the neighborhood? :D:cool:

I'd be interested in that knife.

It looks like former owner swapped boxes: it is actually 2003 Jade Bone 64130 SS Bartender Knife. The corkscrew part seems loose to my liking, but it might be just the way it supposed to be. I guess I need to find out more about those knives. If I ever do axe hunting in Boston area, you could inspect that knife yourself and we can come up with some kind of axe/knife barter (funny thing: last week @garage sale I picked up

i think this is a blacksmith hot punch

A punch is (normally,and sorry to be a nag) something with a certain footprint,that compresses the material and eventually drives out a small "bisquit".
This looks more like a slitting chisel.
But,yes,especially if the cheeks are amply thick,chances are it's a forging slitter,or some other hot-work tool.
Probably shop-made,as from the factory such normally would have a small oval eye(to conserve mass and to better transfer force through it).

why camera why.

anyways this is the last little bit of the haul, it was in a bag i had forgotten about. if you cant tell what this is, it's a hatchet preform! what pattern should i make it once i get my forge fired up? it weighs 1 pound 13 ounces

I don't know anything, but my feeling is that this is not a forging tool. I feel like the eye would not be designed that way, the eye walls would not be optimally strong for a tool intended to be struck. I also feel like it isn't any kind of a pre-form (first it's already used) but if this were some sort of blank I don't think that there would be so much mass in front of the eye unless that much mass was going to be in the final product. It looks like too much metal in front of the eye for a regular hatchet. I think that it is pretty close to it's intended design right as it is, whether it is some sort of turpentine/mortise/ice harvesting axe tool or something else. I could be wrong.
