I found the Verona catalogue. It is fascinating, thank you both again. This will keep me busy for a bit.
It followed me home (Part 2)

For anyone in the Puget Sound area, there's a yard sale going on in Edmonds this weekend, right up the road from my apartment, that has a couple of axes for sale. Here are some pictures of what they've got.
First up is an unnamed Michigan pattern single bit. The head looks to be in pretty good condition and the handle has a really nice shape to it.
The second up is a Collins double bit. This one is in a little rougher shape but still not bad at all.

That Michigan is a TT Woodslasher, and a later one at that.
Notice it only has 2 eye ridges on either side.
Btw if its right up the street from you why don't you just buy them ?

Good info on the TT. I didn't buy them because I've got seven heads waiting to be hung already, including three Michigans. I thought I'd post them here, instead, in case anyone is looking for something and isn't too far away.
Just 7? Lol, I save them for winter.

I don't have an indoor workshop besides my living room, so winter does not, for me, make for better project time. If anything it's worse since I can't sit outside on my patio for the messier things.

Understood, I'm just jealous. I have been wanting to find a Collins. Hopefully soon along with that Flint Edge haha.
Agreed, it caught my eye earlier as well.

I need some help with this one. I have not seen anything like it. But I was pretty sure it was stinking old.
I can make out an A then T & S FRY. then there is a C.W. stamped upside down to the left of that.
As they said, eyeless pick. See this post and the one right after it where Steve Tall shows us some more info about it.

I almost bought it just to have the handle as a pattern.
I like digging

Hey man, 7 isn't that much of a backlog!
I think maybe he is one of those people who finish his projects before finding another one. That is very admirable, but it is not one of my strong suits LOL.

Very nice!A pretty good conditionAgent_H followed me home yesterday with a couple cool octagonal handles! I’m pretty sure that I just distracted him and took the handles.
I also managed to come up on a Cyclone draw knife yesterday that is ready to go to work, Sharp with very tight handles.

Crossing state lines to smuggle contraband steel to avoid the Feds is what I'm all about - Treetop Flyer and all.
What better way to see your collection, share a bit of mine, and have some laughs?
