New batch of heads. The one on the left has a boys size eye. Need to get weights on them.
That batch came from NJ.That's an excellent haul! Looks like a turpentine axe on the top. Did you find that down south?
Anyone ever been to the Steamboat Arabia museum in Kansas city? I love to visit there and see the growing display of axes, knives, hatchets, and wood working tools.
This ship sunk in 1856. Headed upriver with 200 tons of supplies for the western frontier hardware stores.
A vast collection of pocket knives, axes of every description, and knives for trade and skinning / butchering.
I learn something new every time. View attachment 746124
There are many styles of axes and hatchets. Most were manufactured in New England. And most have makers marks. As do the knives. Have any of you been here?
As far as I know. The wood did shrink some as they were preserving it. The wooden rolling pins are originalAre the hafts all original?
