Good find on the Billings crate tool and the Plierswrench, too bad you don't have the extra jaws for the Plierswrench.

I found this Plumb half hatchet today!
Not quite The Plumb Wall but it’s a start.

It’s obviously not that old with that bar scan code but does anyone have an idea how old it likely is?

Pretty sure there are twins to it hanging in a local hardware store here.

Looks inferior in design and workmanship to the Vaughan. Wonder about the price?

One metric ton of shit followed me home today. Everything here except the bucket of handles. (17 axes, two hammers, circus tent hammer, axe box, misc handle and blacksmith tool.)

It’s going to take me a while to sort through it all but I’ll post a few thing here as I do...

Here is a super cool Blacksmith-made tool, made for punching axe handles out of the eye!!!

An E.C. Atkins & Co. Cross pein hammer and a Grammond diagonal pein hammer.

LoL. This thing is comical, I mean cartoonish! It’s ridiculously huge!
It really is a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures.

It’s an actual circus tent hammer!
NOS never used, original handle with label.

Some great scores there for sure.
That Smith made drift is definitely cool, and there are some real nice axes in there.

...Some single bit axes from that lot:

U.S.A. Kelly Flint Edge, 5+ lbs.

6lbs

4.5 lb. gransfors bruk

You got a couple of nice undercutting axes there.

That smith one has a story....

 

[ithinkverydeeply]

The little single bit is a stiletto, both the PSF axes are big 13.5” & 13.25”

Some real winners in that lot. Not really any losers, actually!

I've got a set of blacksmith drifts I made, for all the common axe eyes. You'll love using it.

That is quite a haul!
What is that little hatchet with the knob ended handle?

A neglected old Flint Edge.

The circus tent hammer is very much like a commander. I have two commanders that I made many years ago with osage orange heads and hickory hafts. Commanders are necessary in timber frame and log cabin construction and historic building restoration.

Sure, the handle does say “farm, lumber & consteuction tools”.
