You can send them back and yeah, new they are really expensive.
So far this morning I got a couple of things but the only picture I took was of this heavy meat cleaver. The tang is like a quarter inch thick $3

Not sure what the markings are.

Markings are... Handle with care, These cut heads off on their own Just like guns kills peoples.

Also Mike im looking for Cutco steak knives if you ever see them, i just missed them at the one where i got the Madsen.

you know how difficult it is to find those :sad20:

I DO...the heavy cleavers are few and far between and for that price you cant lose...just needs to be polished/buffed and it would look great!

Looks like:

Village Blacksmith

Solid Steel Forged

WIS (Wisconsin?)

8

Meaning??

I believe that is correct, "Watertown, WIS" and 8 is 8" blade I think.

Yeah I hope the handle holds up, but I also got some nice wood I could use to make a new handle.

The rest of the loot:

Axes, $3 $1 $1 one is pretty decent Collins and the other Collins Legitimus has a bad handle. The last one has no markings.
$2 hand sickle, $1 corn husk chopper $1 knife $1 alum tent stakes $2 block of wood $1 handles

$5 cleaning kits - thought they were beat. $1 4440 blueing $3 denatured alcohol $1 cleaner degreaser $1 sharpening stone.

The Huntsville estate sale going on today had tons of tools and a little bit of misc gun stuff and hunting clothes and military gear. He also had a ton of lead wheel weights and scrap lead. There were lots of tools and wood and metal working materials.

Oldcarjunkie · May 2, 2015

Nice, I would have bought them for the coolness factor

zombiehunter · May 2, 2015

Lucky! I need more silver myself. What was the place on the Eastern Shore you used to use?

Was in Berlin on the left as soon as you get to where all the antique stores are.

Saw a red rider bb gun and a Chinese made newer black powder rifle for $150. Saw various axes and edged tools.
Ended up with this hatchet for $7 with a new handle nicely fitted and these two knives at different yard sales for $.25 each

Kids clothes, women's shoes some glass pumpkin, some round thing for displaying stuff my wife wants to paint and some toys. Wasn't a ton of man type stuff yesterday.
There were tons of community yard sales but they take a lot of time to go through because you have to drive through the community and find who's selling things and you're stopping like 100 times and not everything is good.

My wife does most of the planning organizing on Friday and I pick and choose a few sales I want to visit. She isn't as into the estate sales as I am. Some are true treasure hunts, others are just the things they think will sell and all the other stuff is gone to the dump I assume - the stuff I wanted to look through. Either that or some of these people don't have tools/hardware/basement and garage stuff because they have people to do that for them.

We do most of the planning Friday night and usually get up at six at coffee and finalize our plan and then go out at seven I'm not one of those jerks that show up before the sale starts.

Stoney Creek Fishing & Hunting flea market had a NIB Dillon 550B for $350. I texted my son to see if he wanted it and by the time I finished my text, a fellow member bought it.

Jed195 · May 3, 2015

Yea, that is one you don't wait for. You could have turned a profit on that one quick.

I believe it is a Quackenbush. I saw a thread on here a while ago about one that a member had.

My wife has heard me talk for years about my mom's Veg-O-Matic from when I was a kid. Found one ($5) at the Maryland Line Volunteer Fire Company flea market on Saturday. Homemade french fries Saturday night! Ok so it's not the kind of blade everyone likes to post, but it IS from 1969 and it DOES slice and dice

Tomcat · May 4, 2015

All I bought on Saturday was a CD case with about 15 CD's in it for $3. Mostly 80's/90's country and some Eagles.
