Got out bid on a very nice Plumb single, not a mark on the poll, and a equally nice Keen Cutter double. I did get this True Temper Kelly Works for $10, and a box lot with the no name double, a brush hook, the yellow snatch block, and a very rusty shingle hatchet, that I misplaced already, so it's not in the pic.

Nice haul the well was dry for me for the longest time but the past couple of weekends I found a few items of interest

a wards 2xbit and a Plumb single. Also a machete with a really bad re-handle job and some clippers.

Thanks, the two that got away were really nice, but I was there to buy something else and only had so much money.

I like that Wards, I wonder when they quit selling axes? I guess before they went under, haha. I like all plumbs. The one that got away was one of the nicest I've seen. It went for about $20.

This belonged to my great uncle . He was a carpenter from 1890 ‘s to 1938 when he got injured and couldn’t work anymore. I inherited the trunk of tools in the picture. Lots of cool stuff in there . Anyway , just got interested in collecting axes and hatchets and the reason for looking at this thread .

From what I remember of the markings , this thing is from the mid to late 1880’s . The handle is wonderful to hold in hand . It still cuts well , but it’s retired now to just me lookin at it .

And now, I am remembering that someone made knives for JC Penney's also, I think it may have been Schrade.
Aha! I found opposed they had made somewhere else with a JC Penny's display of knives. Think they may have a little Schrade DNA in them?

I don't know who made your JC Penney's hatchet, but I am certain the Penncrest name was JC Penney's even though it may not appear on the knives.
