Any ideas on an axe that only has “Weston” stamped along the poll. Looks like a Jersey pattern. I would post a photo, but I can’t figure out how.

The best way to post pictures is with a paid membership. You can get a basic one for $10 per year, and they go up from there. I just recently got a Gold Membership, and believe it will serve me well.

Go to the tools tab, and at the bottom click Subscriptions.

Inlaid bit and overall shape could possibly point to Bradley. However I have never seen Weston location stamped on their axes. There were some lesser known axe makers like David Pratt or Gilbert that were located in Weston, but I have never seen Weston maker's mark on any of them. I would love to see top down picture of the eye to see if it is more modern product consistent with Bradley
Some axe makers used different brand for their second quality products. Maybe G.W. Bradley followed the suit: I just do not recall ever hearing about it

I uploaded a top down view to the same gallery. Thank you for the help. It drives me nuts when I can’t figure something out.

Should a fella sharpen it and leave it as is, or polish it up? New this is strange obsession, so I don’t want to make an newbie errors that’ll make me feel stupid later!

I don’t think it’s a Weston. Writing looks more like Charleston, to me. That would possibly make it a Kelly, or one of their many, many brands…..idk.

I must disagree. Kelly is known for their overlaid bits. I believe only one Perfect model forced them to use inlaid bits, but production ended when theey were still in Alexandria, IN
