I absolutely love the handle on this axe!! I do believe it's coated with some varnish, but the ergos are amazing!
Great find! I'd say it's a Plumb Tasmanian.

These evidently date back to the early 1900s:

Just never know what you are going to find. This was a yard sale find today. It needs cleaned up but seems to be in very good condition. Its on an original 30" haft, stamped Plumb on both sides. Anyone know what Plumb called this pattern? I think this is an Australian pattern(Tasmanian?). It feels like about 4lbs.

My Mother in law scores! I was at work today and got a text from her with a pic of this with a $7.50 tag. Got home and was happy to see the TT Kelly Perfect. 7" × 4.5" with ridges in the eye and what's left of the original handle.

Thanks! It turned out OK, wish I could remove the paint without scratching the head.. You can see pictures in "rehang thread"
I am psyched, this may be my best single day ever (yet) and I've had some good ones.
Today was a good day. Everything is in there. Rafting axe, Flint edges, Legitimus heads, hatchets, adze heads, carving stuff, several very nice hand made axe heads, a Maine wedge and on and on.
This first pic is stuff that I got a a local flea market today. Total cost was $88 and $45 of that was the vise. But...
After the flea I went to a guy's house an hour away who wanted to clean out his granddad's stuff from the garage/workshop. The second two pics are what I pulled out of there for $220. I am psyched, this may be my best single day ever (yet) and I've had some good ones.
WOW! Man you scored massively!
