Old Timer axes?

[Shotgun]

Anyone know anything about them? I have the opportunity to buy an old double bit and was wondering if they're any good.

Is it an Old Timer as in Schrade Old Timer? I've never heard of an Old Timer axe but Schrade did a lot of different promotions around their Old Timer knives.

Found an old auction listing for a Collins Old Timer.

But I'm guessing that yours is an Old Timer from
"Kelley How Thomson Co, Duluth Minn." (note it's not "Kelly")

from another old auction listing:

A 1958 Kelley-How-Thomson catalog was reportedly authored by the Marshall Wells Hardware Company, an axe seller also from Duluth, Minn.

Not sure who the maker is. It has "Old Timer" stamped on it. Also a "W" over a "29."

I think that one is a collins. Not sure though.

Looks like a nice enough piece of work to me.

Could also be a Warren, 1929. I don't have my old catalog, my old man has it. Ill have to see if they had an Old Timer line.

Warren had an Old Faithful line. I have a camp axe from this line.

I've got a Collins Old Timer Legitimus. Great axe.

Just picked up a Collins Old Timer Jersey from my father-in-law. Cleaned it up some and started working on re-shaping the bit.

EDIT: Or is this a Balitmore-Kentucky? Does anyone know.

Warren had an 'Old Time' line of axes. I've got a double someplace waiting to be hung.

That's sweet! I'd call that a kentucky...but I don't know really.

Thanks Memphis.

I found this pattern in the 1937 Warren axe catalog. My guess now is that my axe is a Balti-Kentucky pattern

I love this game! The toe on yours flares up, could make it a North Carolina Pattern.

North Carolina's bit looks smaller.

How about a Phila-jersey?

Thanks for the chart, I have a feeling this is going to come in very handy for me in the future.

I'd call it a Balt-Jersey or a Balt-Kentucky. Bit seems kinda wide for a Kentucky.

James H Mann Co had a line of axes - Old Time Axe.

Collins bought out J Mann in early 1920s - continued the line with Old Timer - used it up until Mann Edge bought Collins in 1966
