You've been busy. I can't wait to see that broad axe once it's all cleaned up.

A Half-Wedge? Double in really nice condition. I love the diamond eye.
Oh and I might have had some "side-of-road" wood follow me home as well. Just the right size to throw themselves in the Subaru.

I've got a similar one. Does it have any stampings on it. Mine has a "3" on the underside.

thats awesome copper! i passed on one similar to that a couple of years ago... there were 3 axes at a pawn shop and i could only afford 2 of them, so i didnt get the one with the diamond eye...
it had markings on it but i cant remember what they were...
i went back a couple of weeks later to get it, but he had already sold it
you dont (or at least i dont) come across those very often...

Bear, I don't think you do come across these very often. I've seen a few recently.
EDIT:
Nick, on the front face of the axe - one side says Marsh & Sons, Oakland Maine and on the other 3 1/2.

$12 at a local antique store. Unfortunately no maker's mark. Thought this might be a Plumb.

Didn't (I don't know, I'm just asking) all Plumbs come marked 'plumb'?

Sweet Rockaway. The bit geometry and poll look like they've hardly had any use. I'd like to see it cleaned up.

Is it a rockaway or a Jersey with rounded lugs. 
It does look like it's had hardly any use. Only issue was it's probably been sitting outside for sometime. It has cleaned up nice I think. Pics to follow.

Ah. Unfortunately, that one is a keeper. I've been looking for a good one since you put me on to those maine patterns. Met a few people on trailcrew in the whites who use this double bit pattern as well.

I thought they did. I thought it looked similar to yours but when I cleaned it up, no markings.
