VINTAGE Marble No 3 Safety Axe Gladstone Michigan Metal Handle
Condition: The best way to judge the condition is to carefully view all photos and email me questions if you have any. I believe the blade guard is missing (as is not uncommon) but the retracting mechanism is working fine. One side of the wooden inset is missing a small portion.
This axe would be excellent for someone who wanted to do a restoration project or who simply enjoyed the history of an unique 100+ year old axe.
I believe this particular axe represents a very early version of the No. 3 model since the wood inlays in the handles are wood (not bakelite) and do not have extra ornamentation.
The weight of the axe is 1lb-12oz including the leather guard. The axe measures approximately 12 inch in overall length and the head is approximately 4 inch.
Please email if you have questions.
