I also am a bit more excited about items from here in Indiana .
I used to have about 20 or more old Beer Bottles from "The Indianapolis Brewing Co. " which were always fun to show .

I also have probably 15 various flint edges and 2 or 3 woodslasher double bits. I had a really nice TT pulaski that I hung on a loooonnngggg handle that was sweet but I sold it and now I'm kicking myself.

A West Germany made hatchet, pretty cool this was made when Germany was still devided.

Check out these really small hatchets. I believe they are called sounding axes and were carried to "thump" trees to see if they were solid, hollow or rotten.

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

A couple of hatchets that used to be my grandfather's. I remember them from our camping trips; they continue to serve the same purpose for me and my family. A true temper hammer hatchet that needs a larger wedge (though it is tight) and another brand that I can't make out but is from Charleston, West Virginia.
