Hi all first post thanks for the add. I have refound this axe head that I had got from my grandfathers place about 30 years ok. It’s when my oldest son (25) the other day asked to borrow my axe. That I thought I would have another look for it and found it. I haven’t been able to find it for about 20 years lol. Can anyone share any information on it. I know it’s from a 1930s catalogue but not sure if it’s a ‘Tasmanian’or a ‘Cockatoo Yankee’. Also any tips in restoring it would be great. Will have to work out how to post some photos
Perhaps try a third party picture hosting website. I happen to use postimage What a great story. So glad you found it!
Pics didn't post properly. If it clearly says 1565 then it's a cockatoo Tasmanian square poll 1571 it's a cockatoo Tasmanian round poll. My 1571 cockatoo. The 1564 with bevels is a beauty must be one of if not the only Tassie patterns with bevels. I've never seen another and I'm from Australia. They must be exceptionally rare though I've seen 1 at 5lb go for a small fortune and that's it.
