It followed me home (Part 2)

It's plausible and in that case seems as if peanut oil was added as an extender. Not a sign of exceptional quality. Peanut oil is non-oxidizing and will remain sticky.

It's possible that someone added peanut oil to this can at some point, as it looks like it has been around for some years, but no manufacturer would have done this.

My haul from this past weekend:

Marshall Wells Hardware Co. double bit. I believe these were made by Kelly??

The boys axe is a Charter Oak (Collins) and looks to have some nice life left in the bit. I took a file to the edge, seems like excellent steel.

Stanley cross pein, I’d guess about 3lbs, and a 2lb sledge marked “GABRIEL”. Has anyone seen this manufacturer before? I can only find reference to the Peter Gabriel song...

no manufacturer would have done this.

And no auto manufacturer would build devises to their autos for intentionally thwarting emission standards either, not for simple profit.

Everyone with peanut allergies, take care. Case closed.

$30! Not too bad! 36" haft in the back is a craftsman.

My first rockaway!

After some wet sanding with worn 400 grit

another S&N Hudson bay. 3rd one! No makers mark though. Probably was an L.L. Bean with a paper label because it's weight is #1-11.3oz. Almost all there.

Man it's fun to have a place to share the finds! Thanks guys(and gal(s)!!

...badazzz axe head going in my collection....

For the record, and to put an age range on that Ox Yoke Brand axe, it has the stamp of "Barker, Rose & Clinton Co." which evidently existed (as that name) from 1898 until 1928, according to this linked page:

"...In 1888, the company became Barker, Rose & Gray and, in 1898, Arthur Clinton replaced Gray making it the Barker, Rose & Clinton Co. In 1928 Howard Kimball joined the partnership and the company became Barker, Rose & Kimball, Inc. In 1952, the name changed again to Rose, Kimball & Baxter, Inc."

Wow amazing. It looks a little bit like Sager Chemical finish. I assume you use 12v battery charger and some kind of borax or washing soda solution. Can you share your secret?

 

[DOGPOUND77]

you assume correct--here is my secret...I use 2 buckets so I can do a pile at a time-hang em in the water--plug the charger in --add soda and watch the rust run....I have hundreds or more axes this way for 10 years plus---I do hammer heads -blacksmith tongs and anything steel that will fit--tongs ya gotta do one end then flip em over do other end...then it only takes a minute to wire wheel the rest of the rust off...

A Billnäs cant hook? That’s interesting for sure, Miller.

Is there a number after the lettering? If so, it may help in looking up info.
Did it have a wooden handle attached at some point or do you figure it was run as is?
