Toga Axe.

[LazySod]

Found this little axe at a car boot sale this morning, only £2, needs a lot of work. It's 12" long overall.

It is stamped "TOGA British Made", anyone ever heard of these? are they any good?

 

[LazySod]

I'll take your silence as a 'NO' on both counts then.

I'd have thought the silence would mean no on the first - many good bits of kit slip under the radar though.

Well i've now removed all the black paint, and started work on thining the tip to overcome the 'Disc grinder sharpen' that the car boot stall holder did on it.

For a 2 quid punt does it matter?

Use it, if gets the job done then it is.

Just thought i may have picked up an expensive antique gem used by some famous person way back in history, and you were all going to offer me tons of money for it in a forum bidding war..........

........im dreaming again, aren't I.

A short amount of time googleing and it seems that "Toga Tools" were a pre war maker of tools for capenters . (going by the prices in the catalogs , not the cheapest nor the most expensive)

I tried Google, and got nowt.
