This is one is for the axe collectors. It's one of the least common and most desirable axes in the Plumb lineup. The story behind the cedar axe is well-documented. Plumb appears to have picked up the pattern in the 1930s. It is a specialized lightweight axe intended for cutting through the tough scrubby cedars in the Texas wilds. This example has seen little use. The bit has evidence of being honed a few times and the handle has some wear at the usual spot from missed strikes. The stamp is crystal clear. The handle is original. It has a tight check at the rear and the afore mentioned wear, both of which are clearly shown in the photos. It's a rare opportunity to acquire a nice example complete with its original handle. $275

This is an early, clearly hand-forged, farrier's buttress. It has an early repair to the handle but still looks great. I presume it's usable but I have no way of testing it. $15
