Trying to get some info on ths guy. Charleston West Virginia so Kelly Axe and tool right?? I see what probably says Hand Forged with an arm and a hammer. Bevels I've not seen before. Any guesses on the year?? Thanks for any info fellas, I appreciate it.
I believe the original maker's mark had
J.P. KELLY PATENTED
CHARLESTON W.VA. NOV. 18. 1899
HAND FORGED
on the other side you should find
CHIP...........JPK mark.....TEMPERED
SLINGER ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,TESTED
Some of them had slightly different mark
CHIP................JPK mark..... SILVER
SLINGER.................................EAGLE
I believe in your case the one without Silver Eagle name is correct
