Identify this axe

[Thijzzz]

Hi guys,

Found a rusty old hatchet / axe that I refurbished. It's marked C.T. Skelton & Co, Sheffield. It also has the original goat's head logo and a big "2" stamped on the blade.

What type of hatchet / axe is this ?

Thanks in advance!

It's a kentish pattern axe. You've done a great job on the refurb as well

WOW that was fast, thanks! I'm planning a post/manual about how I fixed it up.

What were they used for? I'll google as well but this is FASTER!

Nice Axe Thijs!

Where did you find it?
For the last 2 years I'm looking for this style axe head, at car boot sales, but no luck.

cheers, Jasper

There's something similar lying my my garage! Might take a look-see at what my local iron mongers can offer in terms of a handle. Mike
