Three 19th Century Woodsman's Articles
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
The first an iron spiked trade axe head (7.75 in.) (horizontal cracks with traces of old glue reinforcement); the second a shot pouch affixed to a modern leather strap with new rivets (age-appropriate crazing to the pouch; the sides re-sewn in the 20th century); the third an enigmatic clip point side knife with a wooden handle that incorporates a large, likely fantasy Chinese coin for a guard (14.75 in. LOA) (possibly a composite piece from different sources).
