Hi Guys

Just picked up this axe. Had some mushroom that I removed. Do you know anything about them? It says USA but also has an M. Does not make to much sense to be Mexico, or it does?

Thanks for the info

M would stand for Minnesota? Do you know if they still on business or when they stop?

Thanks again Steve, you just know this subject

Sorry but, what does that mean?

The Mann edge tool company was a major axe manufacturer and produced a lot of them for different hardware store brands. The M is stamped on there so it can be traced back to them in case of a quality control issue.
 
Bumping this thread to show another Sentry axe. I'm pretty sure this is a Mann. It looks like the Collins rafters from Mann.

Found this one on the 'bay and won it for $11.05. There are still bargains to be found.

False alarm!

I got to looking at some of the later pictures in the listing and noticed they were of a different axe! The seller acknowledged his mistake and refunded my purchase. Sorry folks.

oh, that's crazy. I saw that auction and though, 'someones getting a rafting axe for a good price'

so what was the actual head in the auction? I'm guessing not a rafter?
 
The listing on ebay said it was a Sentry. But that turned out to be the Michigan not M-stamped rafter. Listing error.

Oh, I meant in the original thread. I wasn't questioning you by any means. I was just asking where Sentry literally came from. Were they their own maker, or were they a hardware outfit that had axes made for them? All I can really find on line is what is printed above. All my searches come back to this forum LOL.
