You are most welcome! I'm awfully glad to be able to finally help someone. Usually either i can't or someone beats me to it. I would consider yourself lucky to have that much name to work with. You've got a really handsome axe there man...
I've got a really nice old axe that just has next to nothing left. In a rectangular box and i think begins with an S.
It's a quality axe that's for sure. I'm just sol with any other markings.

I appreciate your work and help, thank you.
Ya, that is a stark reality that we may never discover the lineage and maker of so many of our axes and axes yet own

You do have a beauty there, I have one that is so heavily pitted, If there were markings, like you said SOL. But a great old axe with great steel.
Then the ones that all I can make out are the words cast steel or cast warranted...se la vi

Thanks again Yankee Josh

How altruistic this ended up... I purchased a bunch of slightly warped hafts from jb a few months ago. One of them I've been trying to find the maker. And, lo and behold, it's a New England handle co! I found it in finding that ol thread for you Miller '72
Proof that it pays to help!

That couldn't have worked out any better! I know it seems obvious, and indeed it is, but i tried googling it and a bunch of other search methods and i couldn't find the company till tonight while reading that thread about the NE old yank. Awesome!
