Can someone else confirm that they can see all the images again in this thread, page 1 onwards?
Everything disappeared when Photobucket decided to charge, but now images appears to be back again with Photobucket watermarks (even though I gave up on them).
Good if that's the case

So after a 16 month break here's today's finds.....
Red adze is an "R.O (Ramon Onraita)" & the handle is salvageable, the black adze is a "Bellota".
The small claw hammer head hasn't a name but is a lovely old casting I couldn't pass up for a couple of €s.

Pictured with another smaller hatchet head of similar style 1lb1oz (0.5kg).
Perhaps the inspiration for the True Temper Tomahawk.

I'm glad your pictures are showing up as this is a great thread!
It's a shame that Photosuckit needs to now watermark your original material they locked you out of - guess they need to do something when their paying user base dropped out? (I seem to be holding a grudge)
Great looking tools I'mSoSharp!

Thanks Agent H, I'm not bothered about the watermarks, I guess they are using the images they stopped showing as advertising now? Doesn't matter to me I'm using Imgur now.....
Of the two adzes I picked up I realise the "Bellota" one is in fact what they call something like a general purpose hammer, I think more of a brick hammer than an adze? The small claw hammer on closer inspection is in fact made by Bellota as well.

I have a couple of the R.O (Ramon Onraita) adzes now.
A photo of a catalogue page I found online, as well as the adzes it shows the same style of hatchet as I found showed in post #157, in this case they call it "Tarragona" type & show it with a normal wedged handle.
Another lump of very rusty steel I picked up after it had a clean, no markings but bags of character.

Picked up this tiny guy today, smallest factory hatchet I've seen with a head weight of just over 8oz (230g)!
The make is Olivo. It's just over 4" long.
I found a larger one a while ago.
Made in Guipuzcoa in the north of Spain, the Olivia brand was used by Arrue then later by Ramon Onriata I believe (if anyone knows better please chime in).

Not a market find this time, an elderly gentleman I was helping out today who knows I mess with sharp stuff said he had an old rusty hatchet I could have.
14" long Kent pattern.
He said he bought it from Woolworths (UK) in 1952 for one & six (1shilling, 6pence) after leaving the army. A better memory than me by a long shot!
I haven't found any markings yet, I'm only going to give it a gentle clean followed by a re-fit of the loose handle & sharpen.

Anybody know what it might read? Really tricky to photograph...
Looks like COM or GOM (above the "No1") with three front letters missing? Most likely British made.
