It followed me home (Part 2)

Those are truly beautiful! I've been meaning to get a couple. But I forgot what froe? Lol.
I made a dump run at the end of my work day. And there learning up against the concrete wall I saw an axe handle.... Don't get too excited it's just a Snow & Neally! But it is an older one and not bad at all for free at the dump! Has a nice older original haft too. Back when s&n made them with wide swells.

The toe is worn some. But I can't complain for the price! View attachment 1180062
First dump axe for me. How about you guys? Ever find one at a dump?
No, not yet. But I guess I will pay more attention. Good save sir!
 
I’m pretty stoked about this find, I’ll have to get some better pictures of it.
I just got it so I can hang out with FortyTwoBlades FortyTwoBlades . I’m Hoping you’ll be able to tell me something about it? Is it missing a handle? The owner said he thought it only ever had one. Are their many with only one handle? I think this blade is 48” but I passed up on a bigger one for this one with the “grain cradle”? Hopefully that wasn’t a mistake? Again, more questions than answers here...

I’ve never seen one in person. Maybe hang it up in “The Great Hall of Relics”?

INSANE MAN!
I LOVE IT!
Yes, that should get the attention of FortyTwoBlades FortyTwoBlades hands down.

Any markings on the blade itself that you've been able to uncover?

I almost think to guess, it would have only the one nub and I am not sure but the nub might need to be turned perpendicular to the blade and forks...just a hunch. o_O:rolleyes:

If you do have a Great Hall of Relics...right up front!!
I am glad you saved and shared it with us.
Now i need one too ;):thumbsup::cool:

Looks like a nice old Turkey Wing pattern grain cradle. And yes, they only had one nib. The other hand would use an underhand hold on the upper end of the snath.

them things are really heavy, maybe good for uuuhhh, honestly i can't think of anything but grains that it's good for
 
The hob nailed, calked boots (or corks) are in really good shape. They need some leather food and conditioning but will clean up nicely!
They are Currins, which was a quality maker. The leather is crazy thick, hard and well built.

The big wedge is a 7lb. Marked Skookum in an arrowhead.
