Trade Axe Value

jimweb · Jul 25, 2007

Hello,

I recently purchased a box of old military items (bayonets, swords, daggers, etc) and this trade axe was buried at the bottom. Curious if any of the experts here could give me a ballpark value on it.

One like this would go for conservatively ~$80-$125 probably. The blade was once much longer than what is left now. The handle does not look original but the trade mark & eye shape makes it an early Biscayne trade axes from Canada in the Neutral Indian territories. Late 1600's-mid 1700's.

There is a good guide to trade axes on ebay at http://reviews.ebay.com/Authentic-o...Axes-amp-Tomahawks_W0QQugidZ10000000003766953
