Makers mark on that farriers hammer? Might be a translucent Arkansas stone there also?

 

[junkenstien]

There is a mark cant make it out,is a translucent stone was gray turned white with soap and water.Razor hone has a leather strop on the other side.

junkenstein, what weight/no is the sledge? I only ask because I have a no 750 10lb head and have almost gotten a no 750 12lb head and yours looks like them.

Moonw, this is for you. The pliers after finishing a vinegar bath. They still look rusty in the photos but it's just surface rust. I have seen things retrieved off of sunken ancient greek ships that look to be in better shape than this. As a review, it went from this:

Thanks! You're right on point with: "I have seen things retrieved off of sunken ancient greek ships that look to be in better shape than this." - I was subconsciously searching for the same words I guess .

Sweet little chairing hammer! And another crops peen! In the Midwest I doubt you would ever find one!

Three dollars at the local flea market. I have been looking for a rail road track piece for a while but everyone wanted 10 or $20 for them I finally found a sensible person and got each of them for a dollar then I paid a dollar for the little hand drill. No axes but still a good day.

Sell one for $10-15.

 

[Slim278]

All for $75.

While it’s not quite a JB level haul, this has got to be my biggest score ever. $20 at the flea market today! Apologies for the terrible lighting in the first pic, I will get some better shots as I go through the group and clean up the heads. There’s at least a few nice keepers here that will get hung and put to work.

First up a big ol double bit. The stamp is barely visible, and even harder to photograph, but I am fairly certain that this is a Marshall Wells Zenith.

This only marking on this boys axe is HARTFORD, could this be a Collins of some sort?

My humble find for today is an almost never used horse shoe forge. The abbreviated version is a friend bought the house that it was at and gave it to me rather than send it to the dump. I know it needs a couple new firebricks but aside from that I don't know what it needs or if it needs anything. I'll probably test it in the next couple of weeks. Please pardon the leaves and dirt as it sat outside for a while and I haven't cleaned it yet.
