That’s awesome.

It’s old, like 1899.

Such a cool pattern! One of my favorite looking double bit shapes for sure.

I have one coming to me from the States as we speak. It is manufactured by 'Bridge Tool Co' with the 'crucible steel' stamp on the other side. Not a lot of information online about Bridge Tool Co, almost none at all in fact. I heard they were associated with Shapleighs.. Will post pics when it arrives

Well, I found a new home for it. Maybe you’ll see it on here again after it’s all cleaned up

there is no *crying* emoticon but I’m really glad that it went to someone here.

Ethnographically, it represents an under-appreciated era of American culture.

I hope to see it here again too.

At least it's in good company there and not slumming it with my heaps of rusty junk lol.

My thoughts exactly. It definitely ended up in the right hands and I’m glad.

What did that look like before you restored it?

I didn’t. That’s basically how I got it.

My friend gave me his 1942 Sager Chemical Axe Puget Sound yesterday that he got from his great uncle many years back.

And you immediately sold it?

And you immediately sold it?

That was my thoughts . If it was given to me by a friend especially something that had been in the friends family. I don't think I would have sold it. If I didn't want it to keep I would have helped my friend sell it . I would have either displayed it or hafted it and used it. I was given a like new gravely professional 12 Walking tractor this month it is easily worth $1000-$1500 it isn't for sale
