You realize that if you keep this up you will be needing a bigger truck? I am amazed not only what you are finding, but, the volume of what you are finding.

I have 106 pictures like that from last year, 50 so far this year.

Yeah but you've really been out doing yourself with the axes! Holy crap! I can't help myself but ask about one. In the first photo if you count up 7 from bottom left (including the handles). What is that? It looks quite nice! I like the haft too!

Holy smokes! I stopped at 6 garage sales here yesterday and saw three axes that are in very rough shape and they were the first axes I have seen at a garage sale around here in 4 years. I am beginning to think there just never were many axes in this part of the country. Mostly prairie around here, but, still I would think farmers would have needed an axe? Every farmstead has trees around it. The three I saw yesterday were so rough I did not purchase them. If they were 50¢ they could have made door stops with handles. Are you starting a hardware store?

jblyttle , what are manufacturers of the three jersey's in the first pic? Also, is there by any chance a TTFE connie in either of the two piles?

I'm just posting the one update pic here. The others in the members discussion thread. After penetrant, heat, tapping, banging, swearing, sweating etc. etc. I got the damn thing loose!

Hard to get to which makes it hard to work on. Now I can finish cleaning it up!

Looks like the reel is a Daiwa Silver Series from the 70’s. I still have 3 that I bought as a teenager ... nice reels. Is that a Shakespeare Wonderod?

Looks like it to me, I've got a little Daiwa 8350HRL from this series and it's a great little reel.
This series was made in Korea IIRC but they're still a great reel for what they can generally be had for.
Not quite a vintage Mitchel or a DAM quick but decent reels nonetheless.

Yes sir two piece wonder rod.Got the loggers from the same spot a couple weeks back,got the ww2 time life books looks complete gonna go back and get them when I get a chance.Like all them older diawas I have ever used them whiskers are my favorite.Korean made yep and the Korean made quantum stuff I’ve had has held up as well.

Well guys I found something pretty neat. A house axe/boys axe(edit; it's really a hatchet) wedge pattern from p-v mfg. With as rusty as it was I couldn't believe there was anything left of the stamp. It's from when the company was in Brewer, ME.

It's stamped 2 under the poll. It weighs #1-14.5oz.

I've never seen such a small wedge pattern before! Have any of you?
I've got a question about this one... I recognize it so well but I can't place what it is! An "M" in a diamond between two cresent moons.

I got a nice pick axe haft too. Have a great afternoon!

Primary suspect would be one of Mann companies.

Date inside circle mark could be found on old Mann axes

I was just noticing how easy it is to pick out a cherry Connie.

Wow! Again! What are you going to do with those wood carving chisels? Perhaps travel is on their mind.

Usually like all the curvy handles but that straight red one stands out.Guess i lied about that diawa it says japan on it.Hatchet is way cool yankeejosh if in you ever want to part with it i would join the bidding warparty.

Could be a bit earlier than mine, but I know they had stuff made all over the place in the 70's.
My reel is marked Korea, and the old Diawa rod I had it on for a while was made here in the US.

This weekend may have been one of my best ever hauls of woodworking tools. With that haul was this OVB Axe! First time I have had one. Seems to be good steel from a quick file test. Thanks for lookin!
