MC Ogden New York. This is a new one for me. I looked in to the company quickly and found a catalog from 1899 with axes and other tools. That’s about it so far.
It weighs 1lbs 11 oz. it’s in fairy good shape, nice little convex head.
Anyone heard of this maker? The stamp is light, I actually thought it was un marked until I started cleaning it up.
Never heard of them but it's a fine looking axe. That weight puts it in the realm of a house axe. The eye size and axe size seem to conform to this use. It would be a dandy on a 19" handle.

The picture may have played a trick, this is the only one that I can think that were referring to. It's 6" long with a 3" blade. The jigging reminds me of a Kent, but I see no markings. Message me if it is still interesting to you.

Yep, that's definitely not wat I saw
To me it looked like something missing most of it's stacked leather washers.
I don't really need another little bone handled B&T right now, otherwise I'd make an offer.

!EDIT: Nope my mistake !
He did have what you are describing. But it was in an earlier post. I look for the photo myself but could not find it.
EDIT:
So what I seen was posted by A17. Sorry

I thought this one was stacked leather, and I've been wanting a stacked leather B&T.
I picked these up today at an off season yard sale today, cheap. The Estwing head was a freebie and I think I can make something nice of it.
The others are a R. King Tool Steel which had a broken handle and weighs 3lbs3oz and a E&S Mfg. CO. which is marked 3 1/4. I assume that's lbs. Something is barely visible on the E&S above the mark but I can't make it out yet. Just starting to do my research and seemed like you folks could help me the most precisely!

The e&s probably says "HANDMADE" above the company stamp. Looks like some good finds!I picked these up today at an off season yard sale today, cheap. The Estwing head was a freebie and I think I can make something nice of it.

No problem! That's what we're all here for! Share and share alike. Under the eye, in front do you see a letter? Either a P or a W? And behind the eye, under the poll is there a year stamp? That's one of the nice things about a Emerson Stevens axes... You can easily ascertain who tempered it and what year it was made if the stamps are still legible. Maybe you already knew that? Just figured I'd throw it out there in case you didn't. They are very nice axes. Sought after as well when they're in good condition.

Excellent point and example.
I did not know that about E&S...but when I finally grab one I hope the stamps are still there.
Thank you Y.J.

Sounds like a perfect choice for it. Look forward to seeing it hung!This little Kelly Perfect just showed up on my doorstep.
Considering a 30" octagon handle for her.
Your thoughts?
Nice
This little guy followed me home 3 days ago. I almost left him in the drawer I found him in because in the dim light I thought he was a felling wedge!
Now my 3lb Clean Cut has a buddy! The eye on this is NOT mis-shaped, just mushroomed from an idiot with a hammer beating on the eye.
Does anyone have any info on when it was made and why it says "Fire Prevention" on it? @Operator1975 maybe?

I found this little guy today. TT BSA hatchet head. As you can see it had a metal handle which is no longer there. I’m guessing there is no way to rehang this but for $5 I couldn’t leave it behind.
Miller72 that is one bad ass saw!! What is that dB you got there?? And is that a wooden molding plane I see?? Or tongue plane for tongue and groove.
