CHUCK M Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Took a trip to the local flea market today. Picked up a bunch of hammers, files, and wrenches for dirt cheap $25 for everything in that picture. But , the reason for the thread is i wanted to show off these 2 gems I found, the cleaver has a makers mark that I wanted to research, and the axe has what looks to be a big makers mark made out of little circles, will have to get a rubbing. BBQ lighter for size reference. Will post pics of makers mark if anyone is interested, let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Love the hatchet. Would have been tempted to go $25 just for that alone. You had a great haul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 What does the eye look like on the ax? Circles like the Krupp Logo? (search on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd like to know if it has a more European style eye or one of the standard American versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Dimples may be owner or ornamentation too; eye looks european. Does it show evidence of steeling? Did you find it locally (east coast)? I'm thinking it could be colonial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No steeling that I can see, got in in southern jersey the flea market seller was an antique dealer that only sold knives and axes, had lots of nice things. he bought it from an estate sale.
