When it came time for the wood chopping and rope contest's everyone wanted me on their team.
I'm going to start looking around for some of this old stuff before it is gone forever.

I have collected good vintage tools for years, and still pick bargains up as I come across them. These days though I only bother with nearly mint condition tools. Last fall I came across this fine old Collins Legitimous at a flea market for $12. They were marketed as being the best ever produced.

Good vintage axes can be found on eBay, but good ones tend to go for a fortune!
