Picked up this little 2 pound Plumb "House" axe on a 19" handle yesterday (along with a Craftsman double oval marked double bit) for $20. I say house axe as it was on a smaller handle than a boy's axe and the bit profile is not as convexed as some of the plumbs I've seen.
initial clean up with a wire wheel. It has a Plumb marking that I've never seen before (with the USA marking):
reprofiling with hand files and sharpening with stone, more cleaning with emery paper and wire wheeling:
hung it on a 24" ash handle (made locally in Maine and sold for $11 in many NH stores up north).
many thanks for looking.
