It followed me home (Part 2)

[Hickory n steel]

You found some good stuff there. Those big wrenches are spendy these days.

I like old scissors. Great steel and they come apart easy for sharpening. New scissors are disposable.

Heritage / Klein still make the good ones , but as with a lot of things even though they're good there's still a lot of cool features to found with the vintage options that you don't see anymore.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that Klein made scissors. Looks like they have also acquired Heritage.

Semiannual antique flea market haul:








The patina (rust!) on the larger hatchet was hiding the WINCHESTER logo. I can't make out the maker on the broad axe (CAST STEEL). Can anyone offer a guess? Thanks for watching! T-A

Great haul!

That's the way you want to find a Winchester. No chance it's a forgery.

The broadaxe might be an I. Blood. They stamped 'Cast Steel' on a lot of broadaxes.

The broadaxe might be an I. Blood. They stamped 'Cast Steel' on a lot of broadaxes.

Here is the logo from another one of my broad axes. It is "I. BLOOD" and "GOFFE" which dates it to the early 1850s.

This axe that I just acquired today has a different logo that may include the I. BLOOD but without the GOFFE. It might include "MFG. CO.", but I'm not sure. Thanks for your input. T-A

Maybe so. I'll see if I can bring out a bit more of the mark with some further cleaning. Thanks for the lead. T-A

Look at the grain orientation on this Dunlap haft:

Does it get any better?! T-A

I think I see that there is an "N" below the "MFG" which would fit with that logo. Thanks for the info. T-A

And I see "OH" as well preceeding the "N". I think you nailed it! T-A

Great haul.
Honestly my eyes are drawn to the NOS sealed boker Scout knife.

I gave ten bucks for it, but it's hard for me to enjoy something I'm not allowed to take out of the packaging! I haven't been able to determine what decade it's from. Any ideas? T-A

Does it have a UPC code on the back?

No UPC code, but the company address does contain a zip code, therefore maybe 1970ish? T-A

Actually, it might be a decade or two later, as some sources say that barcodes really took off in the 1990s and by 2004 were in use by 80-90% of manufacturers. Can't really pin it down. T-A

Probably 70's, if I'm not mistaken BOKER USA was eventually owned by Wiss and when cooper tools bought wiss Boker ended up being shut down.
1977 seems to come to mind for me as a shut down date for some reason.

Why can't you take it out of the package ?
It's not exactly a high dollar knife and you only paid $10.
I understand the reasons one might want to keep it sealed, but it's hard for me to think of other people down the line when it comes to stuff like this and I'd have to open and use it.
