Killer Ohio Axe - #9-10
Size: 7" Long x 4 1/2" T
Provenance: Found in Clinton County, Ohio. X: Lewis
Condition: Super. Classic Ohio type axe with a short poll. Stands perfectly. Very heavy fine grained light tan granite. I feel the light color is from thousands of years of ground patination. A few plow scrapes. I would give this axe a very solid 8.5 of 10. Size is very large and heavy. A great Ohio axe.
