Dunlap made in Lewistown, Pa?

That's a good question for the day.
I have just assumed without digging that Dunlap was a Vaughan made brand...
? Never even considered Mann but...?

4lb Mann Lewiston PA Connie

That is quite a haul, JB. Couple of days of hunting or one trip out?
Are you attached to the spittoon?

And a Makita angle grinder... is it in similar condition to its box?

Those are two of the coolest prizes in the haul

Another good haul jblyttle . I have a spittoon like that in my barn by the workbench.

Just today. The small claw is a Craftsman. The Makita is brand new in the box, cost me $30. The spittoon is cool, I never bought one before, but I have no plan for using it...

I'm interested In that carbon steel Chefs knife seen just above that cleaver.
I've been in the market for an old Carbon steel Chefs knife for quite a while, and this looks like it could be a decent user.

We can make that happen, send me an e-mail. I think you have it, if not let me know.

Picked up this Campbell's XXX hammer poll axe yesterday. Made in Saint John, NB not far from me. The markings aren't very legible, but I plan on hanging and using this axe. I've been looking for one with an intact hammer for a good price. I believe this is about as small as they made these hammer poll axes at just over 3 lbs.

I thought a few here would be interested to see that it is wedge shaped, reminiscent of a Maine wedge pattern. From what I've read, Campbell's was co-founded by a Mainer named Josiah Fowler in the 1860s. I don't know about the origins of the wedge shape in Maine, but I wonder if Mr. Fowler was drawing on his Maine roots with this design.

That is a terrific (and valuable) acquisition!

Todays $2

Poor pictures...

•Winchester house axe
•D(7?) Rip skew back, missing its medallion and 1 thru bolt. Could be hardware line, I will clean carefully to see if there is any etch. If there is, perhaps it was not a hardware line.

Would've given $5 for either of them, $2 is xedefinite a great deal.

jblyttle , who made the red hatchets? New Plumbs?

I was wondering about those too, they seem vaguely familiar .
I'm thinking they're a Barco industries.

 

[A17]

Ebay confirmed it! They are Barco hatchets.

I thought so, the red paint all over and bright yellow sticker stuck in my head for some reason.

When I was an apprentice carpenter, we still used handsaws a fait bit. An old Swede gave me some advice on buying old handsaws. "Pick the ones with 5 bolts. They wouldn't bother using that many bolts on a cheap saw." That's not really true, there are some fine saws with only 4 bolts. A 3 bolt is home handyman saw. But looking at the tote, it's a pre-war, it fits the hand with a a wheat carving , and as such, will be a good user. It's certainly a worth while purchase.
