I love old ax's and tools, found these this weekend while me and Miss Joanie were out celebrating our anniversary. ;) Believe it or not she loves helping me find this kind of stuff also. Should be able to make some handy working tools out of this stuff,and a good deal to boot. ;) :)

That a hewing ax head in the middle?

Thanks for that info Bob. ;)I plan on using it to strain pin pitch glue. ;) :) Clint I couldn't find any names on the small ax or broad ax only some small markings but still trying to figure the name on the firemans ax it looks like something and Warren ,just not sure yet, :-\ may try some vinegar on it to try and bring the name out, any other ideas would be appreciated. :)

Your local Hardware store should carry a product called - Evapo-Rust. GREAT stuff - I brought back some OLD Axe heads using this stuff. It's water soluble/Biodegradable/non-corrosive & reuseable - COOL stuff and works as advertised ! Bob

I think I found it, I will have to look close but I believe the fire ax is a Warren made by Warren A&T Co. Warren, PA. established in 1893,no idea how old it is.  :-\ Hope I can bring out the name better but pretty sure that is what it says on it. :)
