Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum, but grateful to be among you! I bought, a few years ago at a flea market in Northern Minnesota, a refurbished camp axe with a Mann Edge Tool Co. True American axe head on it. It was made in the Lewistown, PA factory, but bears a stamp I can't find anywhere else in my online searches. I've seen the ones with the oval and the square, and one with two arrows pointing to "True" and a line on either side of "American" but never one with just the two arrows on either side of "True" like mine. Would any of you be able to help me try to figure out when this might have been made? Here’s a photo link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zyh0...754.HEIC?rlkey=efteq8xvqb7d84yqb5be290pk&dl=0

Thank you so much for any guidance you can lend!
Jeff

1924 and 1936 catalogs use True American with Arrows logo

Thank you so much for this! I found a 1949 catalogue archived online and there are no more arrows. Do you have access to any late 30’s or early 40’s catalogues? I’m trying to figure out when they discontinued use of this logo design. Thank you! 🙏🏻
