It followed me home (Part 2)

A True Temper, Flint Edge, Kelly Works double followed me home from the Oregon coast. Not sure how old she is but her steel is really hard. Sharpening her has been a chore but I think we're going to become friends eventually.

I went to my favorite discount / closeout tool store by my mom's house while visiting today, and found some good stuff.

A Vaughan Grayvik short super bar that I didn't have yet, and the " bear claw " cats paw in a size that I didn't yet have.
They were $10 each.

The Easco 16oz octagonal I believe was made by V&B as well, full octagonal face, half octagonal handle, and 2 step wedges.

It was only $5, they had a pile of EASCO 16oz curved claws left but they were different and this one was definitely the pick of the lot.
Seeing how Easco was obsorbed by Danahar about 35 years ago this has to be at least this old.
 
I was surfing the bay and bam. Buy it now at a very fair price.

I was splitting wood when it came in, and it is dark here now. I didnt get any measurements or weight of the fella, but will tomorrow.
I have this older dbl bit handle, makers stamped, Charter Oak with the image of an acorn.
I have beem searching and waiting for a Charter Oak Dbl for several years, to marry the two.
I am most excited for this axe and project
 
A nice little plum super scout 1.75 lbs on what I believe is the original 24" handle followed me home. Sorry no pictures here. I'm still cleaning it up a little. Doesn't need much work.
I didn't know what it was until I got home.
