Vintage True Temper Kelly Works felling axe featuring a forged A32 marked head on a 35” wood handle. The head has been cleaned while retaining its attractive aged patina along with remnants of the original red finish. This is a full-size working axe with a substantial 5 lb. 2 oz. head, making it an excellent addition to a vintage tool collection or for careful use after inspection.
The forged steel head features the A32 marking and retains its vintage character with what appears to be its original wood handle. The handle is secured with traditional metal wedges, and the head remains mounted. Please review all photos carefully to judge the condition and markings for yourself.
Approximate Era: Mid-1900s.

CONDITION
Pre-owned vintage condition. The forged steel head shows honest wear, scattered scratches, light pitting, and an attractive aged patina with remnants of the original red finish still visible. The head is marked A32. The cutting edge shows normal wear from use. The wood handle shows age, handling wear, and a few minor surface checks consistent with age but remains solid. The head feels secure. As with any vintage striking tool, it should be inspected before use. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
