Not too bad for a total of three garage sales. I guess the one axe head gets me legitimately on this page. 
No Mark's on the head and almost no wear or damage, either. Four eye ridges, and it weighs in at 2lb even. Is it a WOODSLASHER boy's axe? T-A

I've seen many Mora's but that style is my first.
Can't remember all I used to know but the stamped seat was later than those with cast seats. I have not seen that guard down by the feet before. Added on? Great condition on that one!Customer had this in their garage, said if I nock a little of the bill I could have it. Anyone have idea of the age? It’s fully functional.

Well, it hasn't made it home yet, but will soon. I'm helping me sister-in-law move out on an old farmstead where she has lived for many years and found this in a bucket with the broken haft nearby.
It's marked "FSS" on the back side. The haft is obviously beyond salvaging, but at least I have it as a pattern. If you look carefully, you can read TRUE TEMPER. There are four eye ridges. This will be plenty good payment for my 5 day trip to more her. T-A

Do you plan to have themn chemically sharpened or to do it yourself? Old rusty or dull files typically won't cut an axe well.

That's amazing! I've never seen one so nice. I have the same unit minus the watering can. Any chance you can post close-up images of that?

I was going to try it myself first. Just need to get the time to sit down and make it happen. I'm much better at finding stuff to buy then to fix it up.

here’s some pictures of the can. It works but makes a mess when used inside. See the last pic for my alternative watering system.

I made the water reservoir Pictured below, most of the water ends up back in it and not on the floor. If I used this outdoors I would just use the dripper.
