Hatchet find at a antique shop

[mcginnis6010]

I found this hatchet in a little antique shop inside of a indoor farmers market in the next town over. I will be going back as they have mant, many hatchets axes, adzes, blacksmith tongs, anvils, a forge, and a buffalo blower amongst many other quite useful tools. The hatchet is a true temper jet rocket.

That will be a handy hatchet. Nice find.

Those tt rockets are sweet swingers, used one for alot of years

Ive never owned a true temper before but it feels good in my hand. I just gotta put a good sharp edge on it now.

That's a cool Roofing hatchet, good find.

I have the Rocket hammer that matches that!  It was my Grandfathers!

     You better get back there and buy out all of that stuff, as Mullet is on his way!  He is the "Messiah" of flea market Pickers.  I would love to have that Anvil, and blower, and tongs, etc.!  Good find!

there are a couple of anti "Q" shops that I frequent. They always have hatchets and axes, but as my dad likes to say, "they sure do like their junk" meaning they always want a lot of money! Old axes are also hard to get at auctions. Seems someone always has more money than I care to spend.

Well i picked this one up for 10 bucks and the anbil they have looks to be about a 200-250lb and mounted on a very old piece of hardwood. Im thinking probably BL because it doesn't show too much rot. They were asking 350 or 400 for it. I cant rember. Overall their prices weren't too bad.

Is that the antique shop south of Harrisonburg?  They have a wierd drawknife with a 1" semicircle in the center of the blade.
