Original U.S. / British Early Revolutionary War era Colonial Blacksmith Hand Forged Trade Tomahawk With Visible Hallmarks - Possibly Earlier Fur Trade Axe

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history - a trade tomahawk that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the 18th century. The tomahawk's head 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.

It seems that this tomahawk was dug out of the ground, as there are evident signs of old pitting on the head. The length of the head of the tomahawk measures approximately 5 1/4 inches with an edge width of 2 ¾ inches, while the handle is about 17 inches long. There is a blacksmith marking present that reads 'EE' or ‘SS’ although we have not been able to find any reliable information regarding this marking.

This is a beautiful example of a Revolutionary War era Colonial blacksmith made tomahawk! Comes more than ready for display.
