A FOUNDER'S GRADE 12" CUTTING EDGE BROAD AXE by William Beatty & Son, Chester, Pennsylvania. This essentially unused axe retains its original offset hickory handle and much of the original black paint on the face that was added at the Beatty & Son factory. It has a bold maker imprint featuring the distinctive bovine logo used by this company. The axe has the distinctive "ring" of a perfectly made axe when sliding the finger across the edge. A great working tool in top collector quality condition that stands ready to provide several more lifetimes of use. Lehmannesque. As good as they get. Length = 22.50 Inches (Ref. Id No.: 415731) [Free Shipping]
