I used to have a couple axes and then I went to this sale recently where these were $5 each. Now I have the beginnings of a collection.

The prize may be a Plumb Anchor with a gorgeous embossed logo. I’ve been working on them and will post more pictures.

Wow. Vikingdog, that’s a gorgeous collection. The oak leaf and red devil especially.

Here’s the ones from my recent find that were waiting just heads or handles were hopeless. Soaking in vinegar. This includes a lakeside carpenter’s hatchet, a Skookum wedge, a snow and smiley, a Collins brush axe, and the plumb anchor (which I appear to have forgotten a before picture of.

Oh. And there’s one shot of the prize of the beer bottle find too.

Nice axes. Snow and Nealley is very collectible, but I like the beer bottle the best.

Thanks man. I’ve cleaned the Snow and Nealley a bit with steal wool. Here’s the latest.

I forgot that I did take before pics of the Anchor. Not great quality unfortunately.

At least far as collecting goes my interest has turned to axes over knives. Basically my sole interest is the Jersey pattern I am nearing about 120 pieces in the collection thus far. I do enjoy giving old battered ones a facelift almost as much as I do finding very clean all original examples.

I live in MD and I find more Jersey's than all other styles put together. I've taken pics of ones that I passed because they were beat to death, and had people give me heck. In some parts of the country guys have never seen one. I sent one to London as a surprise, got his address from a friend, and the young guy bout had a stroke. Wanted to pay me back. I paid less than a bottle of beer for it. A guy bid $5 on an old Craftsman tool box with a pile of odds and ends in it. I offered him $2 for the ax, all he wanted was the tool box. I do prefer doubles, especially Cruisers. That is a pile of nice ones you have there. Most of my Jersey's are no name, but I do have a couple Plumbs and a Dunlap that I can think of.

Wow, I went back a couple pages and man did I miss some nice ones. I hang out on an Arborist site and they have an Ax forum. There was an auction in Edinburg VA last weekend. They had a collection of 40 or more axes, several Cruisers. I should have posted the sale here. Is there any site rule against posting live auctions. If not, I'll post big collections. This auction house does take phone bids on items and ship.

If you come across any decent ones with markings that you'd let go of hit me up I have plenty of trading fodder, and green :D

What little I know about knives I know even less about hatchets and axes.
But they sure are nice to look at. Thanks for all the pictures.
