Original U.S. / British Early Revolutionary War era Colonial Blacksmith Hand Forged Felling Axe
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history - a felling axe that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the 18th century. The axe is in excellent condition despite some minor pitting, and has a distinct look that suggests it may have been ground dug. 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, however, appears to have been replaced at a later date which might have been due to wear and tear. The handle is likely a more recent addition, but it is still a great representation of the trade axes that were used in the colonial era. The head of the axe is not tight to the shaft and will slide off.
It seems that this axe head was dug out of the ground, as there are evident signs of old pitting on the head. The length of the head of the axe measures approximately 8 inches with an edge width of 4¾ inches, while the handle is about 16¾ inches long.
This is a beautiful example of a Revolutionary War era Colonial blacksmith made felling axe! Comes more than ready for display.
