i have had this one for about 30 years i got it for throwing before it was a bar room fad.

i have several other heads that need to be restored and have a hand hung on them. i have a couple of small double bit cruisers for throwing that i need to get put on handle and start flying. i have more projects than i do time.

Rounding the poll on my ‘banger tonight.





4lb 32” needs a sharper angle for chopping methinks.

I Like the profile on the little Collins.

I used to spend way too much time looking at axes and ID'ing them. It got to the point that I could tell axe brands by the shape and styling of the heads.

 

[Gullet]

Yeah, ok.

Good luck old friend!
Wording is key.
"Prolly", "Could Be".
They wont take your word for it over on BF or BCUSA.

"Guessing" over there requires some references.
"DEFINITELY" is a word rarely used on the axe forums.

Charleston.
Now we are on the same page.
Hopefully its Charleston West Virginia.

More than 1 axe company in Charleston WV.
Union tool for one, made a many axe.
So is it Kelly or Union Tool David?
See what I'm saying?
Close, but havent closed the mystery so far.

Got to be careful of the wording when talking axes.
If it is clearly defined, great!
If not your just guessing...
Use words like possibly, maybe, prolly.
