Multi Purpose Hatchet Hammer Pry Tool
on: February 19, 2011, 06:43:51 AM
Anyone else have one of these older, hatchets? and are they worth boxing, like one on ebay,
(look up VINTAGE MOUNTED CLAW HATCHET AXE HAMMER TOOL JACOB BROS)
or should I sharpen it and use it?

Mines, a "Samuel Undreberg  from B'KLYN, NY

My grandfather got it for me like 20 years ago, So I dotn want to get rid of it, but I dont know if I should use it, or hang it.

I say use it, i don't think your grandfather intended it to be put in a box.

 if you lose it or damage it get a new one and the use it and so on...

Otherwise just get one on ebay and shelve it... that design tends to go for $10-20 max

Here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-MOUNTED-CLAW-HATCHET-AXE-HAMMER-TOOL-JACOB-BROS-/280568309544?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41532ca728#ht_9165wt_1025

A photo from the auction

Looks very similar tool too what Bridgeport manufactures used to make , a US company like Jacob Bros.
A bit odd that it looks a well used tool that has been put in a display box  ??? ???.

I have 3 Bridgeport hammer/lever/hatchet tools , I like them a lot  :D :D.
The ones I have a pretty darn stout I have no problem using them , hell if you can break a good ol solid hammer hatchet tool you would be going a bit hard I reckon  :think: :D :D. I reckon it is a little silly putting a nice old tool in a display box  :think: :think: just my opinion of course  :tu:

I am rustling up some items too fix the wooden scales on the handle of my latest Bridgeport.

My wee Bridgeport at top, I have happily used it  8) 8) 8)


My latest project  ::) :D :D. I got this big Bridgeport with a smaller Bridgeport 'Box Terrier' which is just a hammer & lever

Mat nice looking tools. Is that a pry bar on the end of that Bridgeport or does it serve the same purpose as a Flair cocktail fork?   :D

It has some casting issues I may grind out. I need to dig up an axe sharpening tutorial.  (I had hoped it wouldnt be worth much as I kind of used the fire out of it in the woods with my friends as a kid)

A very good axe sharpening guide is here (from about 18:00)

or if you want a super fine edge then here's Ray Mears on the subject.
