That Bell system is cool. A good friend just fond a really big Bell System axe head for my collection. I will be doing a video on it at some point. Love the vices. Got a few cheese boxes holding leather tools on my desk. Great haul. You got a new subscriber.

@@old_iron_axe_and_tool thanks, I truly appreciate that.

All GEMS! Wow! Thanks for sharing!! 🪓🌲🪓🌲

I love your content, this is becoming a passion of mine in my spare time. I actually completed my first axe rebuild the other day.

Norland was made on old Collins Company machinery after Collins went out of business in 1966.

The first machete looked like a martindale

That item you called a draw knife is a fleshing tool I believe. For skinning and tanning hides.

I love these videos going through collections I’ve been meaning to start sone of mine. That Collins fire axe is sub1900. Hartford was Collins first location I believe so that’s cool I have a Collins Hartford Connecticut on a nice old octagonal handle. Also that stiletto on the 40 inch handle is something wicked

Gps FIRST! Ive really been digging your content man

Hey Alex, this is my first norlund. I've got a question for you. When your looking at the poll, with the bit facing away, is it squared? Or is the bottom, from the poll to the beard slanted at an angle? I've read that norlund wasn't known for high quality axes, this one has a crazy slant to it. If that all makes sense...

This is awesome. I love hauls like this. Alltrade is an interesting one. I’ve found some that say made in china and others that say made in Japan, but I’m not totally familiar with the history on that brand. I picked up an Alltrade boy’s axe recently, which is nice and kinda rare. I’m on the west coast too, but have only found one Stiletto so far. Picked up the yard sale axe search bug a few years ago, and I’m on the hunt every weekend. Good luck in your future finds!

The ‘Barco’ Pulaski you showed, is it perhaps, Bahco? They are a Swedish tool company (now owned by SNA, Snap-on) and a re-brander of axes

It's Barco, they're an American company that bought true temper. Not sure if they still own TT though.

Found a couple of estates sales going on near me. I'm going to check them out next weekend and look for some old ax heads for my first restoration project. Any advice?

First is to be there as soon as they open and be aggressive about finding them, Axes go fast. If you don't see any, ask if there are any. Generally you'll find them with the other yard tools. Remember that the heads are small and hard to see if they don't have a handle. Don't be shy about digging through stuff, I've found some gems in odd places. Around here axes or heads go for $1-$10 a piece. Good luck

I'm no machete expert but I've found a couple old sugar cane machetes that look similar to those if that helps

That 1st machete looks like an old Marbles. The old ones were great. The new ones are made in China out of mystery "steel".
