This axe was found many years ago, close to my childhood home.
Back in the late 60s and through the early 70's, I cut the grass for a few of the elderly farmers in my area. My dad had a heavy metal craftsman mower which I used. Compared to the mowers today, pushing that mower was like pushing a square boulder around. Sure, it was indestructible, but wow was it heavy.
One of these elderly farmers down the road, he was in his early 80s then, and he lived to be 96. He was an interesting man, very self-sufficient. Butchered beef in his barn up into his early 90s. He found this axe when he was younger on his family's farm.
In the 1980's I was going to check out a location to hunt bottles where a barn burnt down in the late 1960's and found a perfect 3.5-inch godar point made of Harrison County flint. This led me to find the campsites on the farm and find many nice relics.
I was given this axe after he died.
