I got the impression that Miller knew that it wasn’t a Rockaway but was commenting on the understanding that how some think that until the distinction is made.

I was excited for the possibility of a rockaway but was soon to learn from this thread and others that i definitely had a Plumb Jersey.
The quest for the axe continues

Thankfully as an axe collector and user I have a freezer full of appendages. And I'm ready to trade!

Looks like it to me, yes.

Cannot find full pdf version

Yes a nice one in really good condition.Is this a Jersey?
Just take that rust off with a wire wheel, hammer the slight mushrooming on the poll back, and you'll have a real beauty there.

Apparently, my 5 lb Plumb is apparently a Jersey, not a Rockaway... It doesn’t change anything, just reduces the cool factor a tiny bit.
