The axe is marked on the head with different punches “1916” on one side and “1917” on the other and fastened with two long iron tongues anchored directly in the eye on a, what seems to be an angular oak shaft with smooth edges heeled with an iron ferrule. -The quality of this axe cane is undeniable, its style, anchoring technique as well as the iron patina suggest an early 1800 dating with later punched commemorating dates.

The axe cane survived in superb condition and with a magnificent well-used surface and great feel of age. -H. 6” x 3”, O.L. 37” -$300-$400
