"USA" made Collins Commander

[crbnSteeladdict]

Another garage sale, another learning opportunity.
Collins Commander made in Lewistown, Pa USA!!!!!
The shape was so awkward. I only snapped a picture of an eye. I was not willing to waste 15 bucks.
I was hoping I could spot MEXICO or M 3 1/2 stamps. Unfortunately, it had two labels: barcode one and blue/golden Commander sticker.


edit
It did not have phantom bevels but eye looks similar... INDIA

It says USA on sticker and stamped India?Do you believe m means Mexico?Saw an India stamped piece of crap with true temper stickers on it last year didn’t get a picture though.If Mann stayed in business until early 00s what did they make.

This axe felt so cr...py that I was sure it was made in Mexico. Once I started searching for more info online, I found worthpoint listing with similar axe indicating there was India stamp. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-collins-commander-single-bit-1807006595

I asked the owner if he remembered the year it was bought, but it belonged to his father and he had no additional info.

Yes sir,i sure am.Posted a picture awhile back of a m stamped half a slip fit splitting maul type of thing that had patent pending on the rubber eye filler it was pressed on to and was wondering what all they were making before closing.Just got an ice chisel with a collins axe sticker on it.
