It followed me home (Part 2)

Love the TT Puget Sound. One day I will find the right one.

now that's a hell of a find there, a matching set of bucking wedges. there might be a few guys here that may try to convince you to part with them, exceedingly rare to find a set like that

 

[Agent_H]

Not matching but similar...

This is cool because I got it from my dad. When visiting him he said he had an old pulaski from when he was a forest ranger, he even knew when! In 1972 they fought a big fire with lots of volunteers and at the end of the season when he inventoried his truck it was extra, so they told him to keep it.
It’s been sitting outside in Nevada.

I just cleaned it up with my dad’s pulaski! I blackened the PSF and wedge I have a 42” haft I plan to hang it on.

I was also told they were ship caulking irons if that makes sense?

Whatever they are, yours look NOS with a scrub.

yes they are NOS no smacks on the back of them, the hatchet is pretty clean also, few nicks on the hammerhead

It's a particularly pretty lathing hatchet, that Smart.

Here's a couple ebay gets. 11.5" edge, 7.75lb L & I J White broad. Cavernous eye. Interesting shape. Lots of steel, nice and hard. Will be a user, eventually. I'm excited to hang this and file it.

And a 4.75lb Bradley. Very excited about this one. I can't quite make out what the poll says after steel. Could it say steel "pole"? It's such a refined implement. The finishing that went into this is incredible. I will hang it, but I don't think I'll file it. This one feels like every bit of the bit should be preserved. God knows I want to, though.

Looked, it does in fact have a steel poll. Sorry, steel "pole." Wowsa

Lemme take a pic.

Eta: pics. You can see the right side clearly, and kind of on the stamped side.

 

[junkenstien]

Glad you saw that.Lucky i didnt see that one on the auction site.How do you think the pole is hardened?

 

[Yankee Josh]

How late were companies(any companies) making ice saws? I purchased an nos saw painted white on a repaired Ames handle yesterday. It's in brand new condition with perfectly consistent filing and set. 48" blade.

The pencil line was from someone making a wooden protector for the cutters.

I notice it has the rectangular opening for the old style shim attachment.

No 19 handle;

Also a 48" disston. Not your typical perforated lance tooth. This is patent ground and a skew back. I haven't dated the medallion yet but this is a quality old saw;

The older gentleman I bought these from lamentably left them IN THE RAIN for week before I got a chance to stop by. I'm sure our wore this sticker off... pretty sure Atkins?

Some yahoo had this handle tightened between two of the starter teeth on the Disston. It didn't damage it too badly thankfully. I'm excited to look for an etch! It's certainly a different style of lance tooth from what I'm used to seeing. A little research is in order... Have a good one!

Picked these up today, anyone able to give me an idea on what brand of axe the double bit is? Can only find the weight. Also does anyone have info on the hammer one I can’t seem to find anything online

Are you, by any chance located in Canada?
If so, my GUESS would be Mastercraft line of axes made for Canadian Tire. Because of that straight line discoloration I suspect the head was made by Vaughan.

Nice killing axe (Campbell's XXX Tool St. John New Brunswick ?)

I'll be awhile living this one down...
While I haven't quite been working my fingers to the bone they're getting there! Almost no fingerprints left from so many roofs this year. So I figured what's the point in making good money if you don't splurge once in awhile. (Once or twice a year) lol. Plus @Flint 77 and I made trade too!

This has an overlaid bit and the bevels do match a bunch of other clippers I've found online.

Now if someone could just explain Kelly stamping an 8 into the off side that'd be great!

Even though I'll need to file the dings out I'm very pleased with it. I have the PERFECT haft ready for it...
This next axe shouldn't be over shadowed though! I traded my Beatty fire axe for this Vaughn tropical hardwood db with a 32" house handle. This has some really neat geometry and I quite like it!

Measures 10-1/4" x 4-3/4" bits. An interesting axe!
Also you can see in the first pic a limited run Pacific North West Tool Collectors club "depthing" gauge. Modeled at 1/3 scale after a 1909 Preston depthing gauge.

Have a great afternoon all!

Went to the mailbox this morning and waiting for me was a USPO flat rate plastic package in a somewhat ball shape. Took it in and sliced open the bag and inside was a USPO flat rate plastic package in a somewhat ball shape.

That Fulton Clipper is a holy grail axe for sure!

Not my biggest haul, but all good for $30 total. The coat is a keeper. Fits perfectly.

Headed to an estate auction tomorrow. Auction bill says there’s axes in the auction. I’ll post up pics if anything follows me home!

 

[Yankee Josh]

I found some pretty good stuff yesterday. Just a few things. Especially pleased with the "Wilson" C.STEEL 12" draw knife. Can't find any info in the Wilson mfg co. other than a few mentions of lawsuits near the turn of the century. This seems older than that to me though. All hand made n' forge welded.

A 3/4" P.S.&W firmer chisel.

Flint Edge hatchet on the original stick.

And last but not least a pair of nos Snow and Neally saw handles! I'm always on the lookout for S&N stuff so I'm glad to have these!

Have a great day fellow axeheads!
