John Riley & Sons 1186 Axe

[Big Stu 12]

Here on offer is a Refurbished John Riley & Son's 1186 Kent Pattern hand Axe made in Sheffield, England.

The head has been lovingly restored with careful consideration to leaving as much of the character that it has picked up in its life, so not to leave it a shiny sterile tool.

I has been Re-Helved with a hand carved Hickory Helve, that has a sanded and oiled finish to leave it nice to hold.The wedge is made form Mahogany.



Housed in a 3mm Veg Tan Leather Mask with a 3mm welt, in Dark Brown, hand stitched with Black Linen Thread, finished with Carnauba Cream to give it a Protective finish, the mask Strap is secured to the main Mask with Brass Rivets front and rear, The Fasting is a Brass finish Snap.

Also Included is a Belt Loop finished in the same way to make what is a pleasing set up.

I am looking for £45 inc Paypal and Postage -(Mainland Britain)

Thank you for that, I am always open to commissions

Dont know the the exact details, but I have found the following

"Riley, John & Sons (Sickle & reaping hook manufacturers). Residing at Grenoside, in 1905. Recorded in: Whites Directory of Sheffield & Rotherham.

Riley, John and Sons (Sickle and reaping hook manufacturers). Residing at Mosbrough, in 1871. Recorded in: Whites Sheffield & District Directory - 1871."

Not sure about the actual date of the axe or where it was actually made, but it seems to be shall we say more then a few years....
