Folks first time sharing on this Forum. Let’s see some old Axes/Hatchets that you just wanted to leave in all their Vintage/Antique 08947D1F-4C56-44A6-81B6-E5AB13D0A440.jpegglory. Here’s a couple old Logging D-bits I picked up over the years that I had no intention of doing anything other than hanging them up to admire. The old Kelly I found in Idaho. The one on left picked up in Shasta county CA

Awesome. That’s gotta be a forged Axe from somewhere in the 1800’s

Yes, pretty sure it's a inserted bit as well. The name kind of implies something made during or right after a war when patriotism is high but I don't know that for sure or what time frame that would be.

The haft is also old but it's probably had many, it's lathe turned and here are still rasp marks visible below the eye.
