**Title:** Vintage True Temper Flint Edge Single Bit Felling Axe - Kelly Works - 35" Curved Handle
**Item Description:**
Up for sale is a classic vintage True Temper Flint Edge single-bit felling axe in the popular Dayton pattern. This historic tool was manufactured in the USA by Kelly Works and features deep, fully legible maker stampings across the cheek.
**Product Details & Measurements:**
- **Total Weight:** 5 lbs 2.3 oz (Includes head and handle)
- **Overall Length:** Measures 35 inches from the top of the poll to the base of the handle.
- **Axe Head Dimensions:** Measures 7.25 inches across from the cutting edge to the poll, with a 4.75-inch cutting edge width.
- **Head Markings:** Highly legible "TRUE TEMPER / FLINT EDGE / KELLY WORKS" stamp.
- **Steel Condition:** Good vintage condition. The head has a dark gray patina and features a cleanly profiled, sharp cutting edge. Please note: The poll shows significant historical flattening, hammer wear, and heavy mushrooming from past field use (clearly shown in close-up photos).
- **Handle Condition:** Hung on a curved vintage wooden handle with a rich, dark aged patina finish. Please note: The fawn-foot knob at the very bottom base of the handle has a tight split/crack opening along the rear wood grain. The handle remains firm in the head, but is priced accordingly due to these cosmetic/field flaws.
A fantastic addition to any classic American vintage tool collection or a rugged piece ready for a restoration project. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition details.
