Thanks Trevor!
Any clues on what the riveted head is all about? Was that some new idea in chopping wood or something?

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
How do you guys clean these axes up?
I saw vinegar & steel wool was mentioned; just scrub it with vinegar?
Do you soak it first? Do you oil it afterward?
I have a few I need to clean up.
Thanks,
Dale

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I use GOJO hand cleaner and steel wool on mine Dale. The GOJO makes the handles look great too. It renews the wood and makes it shine. Vinegar will remove the rust but it also removes the patina. If you want to make them look like new, soak them in vinegar then take steel wool or a wire brush to them, the rust and crud will fall off. I coat the head with light oil and the handles with mineral oil after they're cleaned up.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
My wife & I stopped at a store that sells leftovers from estate sales.
I found this Plumb Scout Axe.
The head is mushroomed; pounding too many tent pegs?
Anyone have an idea of the value in this condition?

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
A few recent finds. A Collins Jersey pattern made by Mann Edge, an unmarked axe, a Belknap Blue Grass carpenter's hatchet head, an Evansville double bit head and a very nice Kelly "Worlds Finest" hatchet with the original sheath.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Nice finds Mike!
Here is one I just had to have, it was made in Poland, it is very unusual which I like and you can`t beat the stag handle and inlays

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Sure was impressed by that Poland made hatchet Miller Bros
This is a light duty kitchen axe that Sears sold perhaps up in the 1970s
Made the plaque from Sassafras wood, will hang horizontal or vertical.
