Best Estate Sale Haul Yet : Axes, Cutlery, Old Chainsaw

[@jakecallen2852]

If you need a plane guy then I'm your guy. The Stanley planes you want to look for in order of price are the No. 1 ($1000-$2000), the No. 2 ($200-$300), the No. 8 ($80-$200), and the No. 7 ($50-$90). The ridges milled into the bottom of some of the planes are called corrugation and Stanley created them with the thought of reducing friction of the sole on the wood. About 10% of all Stanley planes are corrugated and it does make them worth about $10-$50 more. FYI the corrugation does not actually reduce friction at all. I only know about Stanley planes because from a functionality POV all other planes are crap so I cant tell you anything about other planes. You may also want to look out for the Stanley No. 45, No. 50, and No, 55. You've probably seen them before they are very complicated planes with a lot of knobs and dials and the 45 typically goes for $45-$100, the 50 goes for $80-$200, and the 55 goes for $100-$300. I hope this was useful. (:

That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@bjsteg79]

Don't forget Sargent (my personal brand of plane), and Millers Falls! Both equally as good as Stanley but fell to obscurity with time.

[@randallsmerna384]

That last axe head I believe says "Union". Looking it up there is a UNION TOOL COMPANY Charleston, W. Va USA Searching for this you'll find a single accent that has the exact stamping on it.

[@jakecallen2852]

I'm assuming you probably know this already but that first knife was marked "Sheffield" and any tool steel from/made in Sheffield England is very commonly regarded to be the best tool steel to ever come out of the industrial revolution. I pick up anything that is marked Sheffield even if it is in poor shape or I don't have a use for it.

[@brettvanwagner6743]

Great info on the dates. I did not know about the crown logo for craftsman. It is such fun finding and restoring the older stuff!

[@phillipbingham487]

that split face hammer was made in the state of Maine..Saco is pronounced same as taco.. i am from Dexter Maine

[@larrykoroush6995]

I spent the last two days cleaning up 9 hatchets. I stripped, sanded, stained a couple, linseed oiled, and tightened up the handles. I filed, sanded, blued, and oiled the heads. They are all mounted on the walls and ready to use

[@ToolsandTime]

That’s an awesome tool haul there man, you did really good and you found some gems! Nice going.

[@SergIDGF]

Ford whench is from model T or A set

[@dusty7264]

You got some nice stuff, I have not seen a knife like you have. The Ford wrench came in the tool kit for Fords, I was told the square end was for the drain plugs. I ran across something I think they call it a carpenters hatchet, but it’s made by Firestone the tire company. Funny I’m a journeyman carpenter and fine woodworker, when I started framing houses lots of use used a 28 oz rigging axe, it’s the best tool for driving 16d nails. Have a great day

[@randallsmerna384]

I found a double ax head that's blue from West Germany.... I don't know what to do with it.

[@caleblandry1780]

I just stumbled across your channel the other day and I’m loving it, I’m big on collecting old tools/blades and I’m a blacksmith myself I’ve been on a search for a dbl bit axe but they weren’t a average axe to have from where I am and the ones people have they tend to not want to part with but I’m not giving up on the search, gonna forge one soon but I still want a old one to clean up and keep that patina

[@aprilnichols2806]

Meat saw. I’ve restored several Estwings. Hot wax the leather and buff. Hard as wood and last forever. It’s called a kitchen axe I believe. Tenderizer/ cleaver

[@oldgrumpytools98]

The Craftsman plane is a corrugated bottom, as I never restore chipped planes but you can grind down the chip in front to make it even with the other side. It also looks like the tote and knob are plastic, I have a couple of very old Craftsman planes that have the rosewood handles. This week I found four axes and they will all take work to restore, like mushroomed heads, horrible grinds on the double bit blade, a Rexford boys axe, but I can see you have a lot of work ahead on them axes.

[@westholdforge539]

The knife with the odd handle is made out of sheep shears.

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

I was racking my brain trying to see what that thing was made from.. that's it exactly.

[@canoncogan]

Definitely modified sheep shears for the knife. As far as that first boys axe or hatchet with the 1 1/4 or 1/2 M mark stands for Mann I believe. If you wanna sell the blue gba or HB axe I would gladly buy it lol. Great video’s absolutely look forward to watching these every time. Thank you!

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

Glade your enjoying the videos. I'm going to start selling axes soon, but I'm not sure if this one will be available. It's the only one I've got.

[@canoncogan]

Totally understand that! Really nice find. They’re great I know it can be challenging to take time to make the videos but we all appreciate them very much.

[@BeardedVirginian]

The RLM is pretty cool that's my initials and was my Dads. If you found that in VA it's very possible it could have been his. He marked all his stuff

[@bonnienapier8459]

😮❤My Dad did too EN on every tool Elijah Napier our family came through Virginia with Daniel Boone FYI ❤

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

That's awesome.

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

This one was found in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

[@giodavid991]

The first knife you showed, the one with the weird tang, reminds me a lot of old shears. I guess it's a broken shear that got refurbisehd into a knife

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

I see what you're saying, interesting perspective. Thanks for the input.

[@markt.33]

I agree. I have one that I bought from a knife modifier who made it from a pair of old sheep shears. He added a deer bone for a handl. It turned out very nice.

[@jasonsiegler6670]

I agree. It looks like a modified sheep shear. I have an intact sheep shear that is stamped with “Sheffield England”

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

​@@old_iron_axe_and_tool I see some very old, 1850's sort of old, shears that are one piece tang, while more modern ones have an "applied" tang

[@mikenormandy9250]

Oh and that last one! Union tool is what I think I saw!

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

I just looked at it again and I'm pretty sure your right. Good call. 👍

[@IronOxAxeAndTool]

​@@old_iron_axe_and_tool Nice haul and I agree with Mike. It definitely looks like a Union Tool Co to me.

[@brianbuswell6112]

A guy in one of my knife groups posted a pic of a Sheffield knife that was really similar, I can't remember all the details but I remember it was like 1840s or earlier. I think for shearing sheep or something like that . Kabar and Case made kitchen knifes . They are cousins so they made a lot of similar stuff.

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

Are you in the Sierra Nevada mountains?

[@davidcurry9292]

It is a butchers meat tenderizer,missing a thin metal cutting edge on opposite end

[@michaelhinkle6648]

That little vise is a Wilton. I've got a bigger one identical to it.

[@audiebodine519]

Nice haul

[@Andryu_Schneider]

on 23:22 .for the chop. For working with meat in the kitchen

[@TylerSnyder305]

I may be mistaken, but I swear I've seen a knife with a tang like that which had a jawbone handle. I'm confident that it was modified from something else, but couldn't say what. That unbranded boys axe I'm thinking a 1990's collins, the ones with the black paint and yellow scroll font logo. That little vise is a Stanley handyman, the red and blue paint scheme gives it away. I really like michigans myself, and especially that particular Honestead. One just like that was my 1st axe, which belonged to my grandfather. My assessment is that they're a very early production Mann era collins Homestead, early enough to still have convex cheeks but not too high of a centerline and the bits are quite thin. I also have a Homestead western DB of the same era.

[@chrisgutsie5320]

If you can't find any information on the first knife. I'd call it the chew toy tang. Niiiice haul pal be safe

[@kyeamans1]

That one head that had the hole drilled thru , i understand that the U.S. Forestry service requires all the hand axes to be drilled and pinned , just something I've heard. Maybe someone on here can expand on this .

[@David-James]

That little vise might be a stanley handyman

[@alang.carter245]

That first knife is half of a sheep shear scissors

[@Griffin_pipes]

I'm pretty sure that was a meat tenderizer hammer.

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

I'm confused what the other side is used for.

[@Griffin_pipes]

@@old_iron_axe_and_tool I think it may have been used for busting ice.

[@ronperez9956]

I found a bunch of those GBA axe heads in Madera county area

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

@ronperez9956 I'm just north of you and it's my first of over 500 heads. I bet there was a hardware store that sold them for years down there. This one actually came from mariposa County.

[@mikenormandy9250]

Greenlee makes hand tools for electricians. I also have a Greenlee draw knife.

[@robertfandel9442]

Should be a disc with 4 wedges in the bottom of the leather hammer. I have one

[@robertfandel9442]

They still make them

[@randallsmerna384]

That red dual face ax head says "TG" on it.

[@MrK98shooter]

That mystery axe head that had RLM on it looked like it said union tool

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

I think your right.

[@pmporter46221]

Knife could be made from 1/2 of a pair of sheep shears

[@FiremanFred214]

It’s made from a pair of sheep shears

What flea market do you it up

[@richarddodds9326]

My dad's C52 got stolen, bought new in1966. The ethanol gas will ruin the gasket s in the tillitson carb and the points will need filed but if it is run right they will last forever

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

Gun and chainsaw theft is the worst of the worst. Corporal punishment should be applied for this type of crime!

[@jakejenkins8127]

Hi do you no how to sharpen a petrol lawnmower blade .hopefully you can help ❤❤

[@sammydavis3796]

What brand linseed oil do you use/trust

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

I use a pure sweedish boiled linseed oil, can't remember the brand. Anything that's pure is fine.

[@David-James]

M for Mann Edge Tool Co possibly.

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

Witch one?

[@David-James]

Rex Krueger has a lot of videos on hand planes.

[@jeremysmith3522]

Yes a meat tenderizer

[@ArzAx]

27:20 looks like union tool

[@mikenormandy9250]

Oh I think that blue rafting(?) pattern GFB I believe is a Hults Bruk - I have multiple HB vtg axes and they use the blue but I could be wrong. And yea GF was shit until they bought SAW (Wetterlings) in the late 90’s

[@justinwolf4614]

I have the Same Kabar chef knife mine is pretty mint and it’s exactly same as yours ❤

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

Nice. Good steel?

[@theshipwright]

Buchers bone saw

[@old_iron_axe_and_tool]

That's what I think.

[@Be-Es---___]

Nonsense! The ax doesnt go that deep in a cut

[@tylerschmitt3932]

Meat tenderizer!!!

[@mauriceclark4870]

That. Knife. Is. Made. With. Half. Of sheep. Shears. Not. Worth much. $ 1

[@damienreisner2183]

Knife has very little value. Grandpas sheep shears turned garden knife.
