Original Colonial America Late 17th Century to 18th Century Axe Head with Blacksmith’s Marking

Regular price $395.00

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history - an axe head that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the 17th and 18th century. The axe’s head is in relic condition with heavy pitting and oxidation, telltale signs of having been ground dug. This example has a blacksmith’s marking on one side. The blade is designed for cutting and chopping, and was likely used for tasks such as felling small trees, building structures and making firewood. The handle is not present.

As the axe head was excavated, there is the expected heavy pitting and oxidation present. It does not appear that any attempts were made to restore or clean it, just the way you like to find them, “as is”. The length of the head of the tomahawk measures approximately 10 1/4 inches with an edge width of 5 inches. One side is marked with a partial blacksmith’s marking, _ _ BIE.

A great piece of history that comes ready for further research and display.
