Primitive Trade Axe, Possibly From Pennsylvania?
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3353398 |
I know very little about this axe except what's in the pictures. It came from the estate of a gentleman in his 80s who grew up in Pennsylvania and spent a lot of time outdoors there. I can't find any manufacturing mark on it, and I have an idea that it was hand made but I do not know that for certain. The label attached to it says "Crafted Indian Trade Axe, " but I have no way to verify that.
In response to several questions, I am revising this listing as follows:&...nbsp; The blade is 1 7/8 inches high at the eye, and 3 7/8 inches high at the widest part of the blade. From the back of the eye to the edge of the blade it is 5 1/4 inches. The axe weighs 1 pound 15 ounces. I can't see any seams or inserts. The metal appears to have been waxed or coated with something to prevent rust.
E-mail me with any questions prior to buying; I usually respond within a few hours to questions. SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES: This is a little too long to fit in a flat rate box, so it will have to go either regular Priority or Parcel Post.
You may combine this item with my other listings.
