Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
GSP, all 4 of them are doing well, Barney just had his Second birthday. His coat is a lot like Zeus's.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks, the two that got away were really nice, but I was there to buy something else and only had so much money.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 1:39 amNice haul the well was dry for me for the longest time but the past couple of weekends I found a few items of interestrarefish383 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:19 pm Nothing to brag about in a while. Went to my first auction in a while yesterday. Got out bid on a very nice Plumb single, not a mark on the poll, and a equally nice Keen Cutter double. I did get this True Temper Kelly Works for $10, and a box lot with the no name double, a brush hook, the yellow snatch block, and a very rusty shingle hatchet, that I misplaced already, so it's not in the pic.
a wards 2xbit and a Plumb single. Also a machete with a really bad re-handle job and some clippers.
I like that Wards, I wonder when they quit selling axes? I guess before they went under, haha. I like all plumbs. The one that got away was one of the nicest I've seen. It went for about $20.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Not an axe , but kinda . Hope you guys don’t mind if I post a couple pics of an old adze I got
This belonged to my great uncle . He was a carpenter from 1890 ‘s to 1938 when he got injured and couldn’t work anymore. I inherited the trunk of tools in the picture. Lots of cool stuff in there . Anyway , just got interested in collecting axes and hatchets and the reason for looking at this thread .
From what I remember of the markings , this thing is from the mid to late 1880’s . The handle is wonderful to hold in hand . It still cuts well , but it’s retired now to just me lookin at it .

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
What an amazing trunk of old tools. Congrats.
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Thanks . It’s been very interesting finding out about the tools and their uses.
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Very nice!!! I have a few Adzes (Adzi?) I love the stampings on this one! Thanks for the great photos!

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Nice. ! You got handles for the picks or you gonna make some ?
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Both, I have a few handles and I am restoring them with linseed oil etc. Bit I have more picks than handles... so I will have to make a few.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Interesting to see this, does anyone know how many of these knives were made or if ever went into production? I am curious to know if anyone has any of those knives and I have the 9630 Whittler. Hope to hear back something, I been trying to find another for quite sometime with nothing coming up.No there isn’t any tang stamp just the logo on blade.orvet wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2017 8:52 pm Back in the 1970s I bought some tools at the local JC Penney's store. It was a larger JC Penney store than I had seen in smaller towns, but I remember specifically some screwdrivers with the brand name of Penncrest. I know they had other tools there also.
And now, I am remembering that someone made knives for JC Penney's also, I think it may have been Schrade.
Aha! I found opposed they had made somewhere else with a JC Penny's display of knives. Think they may have a little Schrade DNA in them?

I don't know who made your JC Penney's hatchet, but I am certain the Penncrest name was JC Penney's even though it may not appear on the knives.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Besides Axes, and Chainsaws, I collect Garden tractors. The other day I saw pics of a JC Penny lawn tractor. I forget the name on it, but it started with Penn. Back when Sears "Had Everything". Every one else tried to keep up?
