Flea Market season that is:)

Went out this morning and came back with these.





An old Kelly from Charleston. A bit banged up but the stamp and eye are still pretty much perfect. I'm thinking of heating up just the very end of the poll up and gently squeezing it it a hydraulic forging press.



Also scored a nice True Temper Flint Edge, 3.5 lbs.



The tiny one is a Hult Bruks hatchet in very good condition.





The other two don't have makers stamps but are in good shape.

Also picked up a nice 4.5" jaw swivel base and pivoting rear jaw from Lowville, NY vise for $20. No cracks or welds, moves freely, just need to disassemble, sand blast, paint, etc.



 
I have that exact Hults Bruk hatchet (I think, hard to tell weight/lenght) although mine had a different label. If you get to using it I would like to hear what you think of the handle.
And that vise looks nice. Its going to look like new when youre done.
 
Great haul- that's a heck of a flea market you've got there.

You know, I've seen enough axeheads hung upside down that I'm starting to wonder if someone was doing it for a purpose I don't know about.
