It followed me home (Part 2)

[Hickory n steel]

I like Wards. I had a half hatchet by them early in my axe journey and gifted it. This guy wasnt much, so I had to have it. Does anyone know who made these? I have my suspicions but am not positive. Gonna get a haft tomorrow and hang it. Is a 28”-30” too short for it?View attachment 3078580View attachment 3078581

It looks like a TT to me.

guys holy crap i figured out how to get back into my account.
i havent bought many axes these days as i just plain have enough of them, but sometimes something really cool comes up like this guy.
this is a kelly standard off the USNS saugatuck. it wont be seeing much use because i want to preserve it, but it was pretty neat for saint nick to leave it behind

Found a $10 axe at the flea market yesterday. With the surface rust I could just make out a C. Didn't know if it was China or something else. I was pleasantly surprised after I cleaned it up a bit. Needs a new haft.

That's a great score , especially at $10.

I can tell just buy the pattern and cheeks that I had to be at least 60's or earlier and couldn't possibly be made in China, if I saw the C I'd certainly be hoping for a CHEMICALAXE but I'm not that lucky.
I have one around somewhere from my grandfather that my uncle gave me a few years back but the bit is significantly worn and the markings are so hard to just barely make out that I can't even remember exactly which axe it is.
