Up for sale is a wonderful piece of American hardware history: a vintage Western Auto Stores double-bit felling axe under their classic "Wizard" tool line. This specimen is highly desirable for collectors because it features clean, readable stamps on both sides of the head. Complete with rich character and vintage red paint accents, it is ready for display or restoration.
Item Specifications:
• Retailer Stamp: "WESTERN AUTO STORES" (Crisp block lettering on one cheek)
• Brand Stamp: "Wizard" (Classic script style on the opposite cheek)
• Total Scale Weight: 4 lbs 13.0 oz (Excellent full-size felling weight)
• Overall Length: Approx. 35 inches to the end of the handle
• Handle Accent: Authentic weathered red paint finish near the collar/eye
Condition Details:
The forged steel head is in solid vintage condition with no deep pitting. Both the "Western Auto Stores" and "Wizard" stamps are clearly visible and legible as pictured. The cutting edges show good historical geometry with normal, minor wear from use. The head is securely wedged and hung tightly to the wooden handle. The vintage wood handle shows deep grain character, typical weathering splits at the very bottom of the handle knob from age, and honest patina that highlights its history.
Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to inspect the stamp clarity, edge condition, and handle character before purchasing. Ships promptly and safely boxed.
