This week for Throwback Thursday we have a Fulton-stamped felling axe. This brand was used by Sears before it completely embraced the Craftsman line. Made by Kelly Works in West Virginia, this Dayton pattern comes in at 3 lbs. and is hung on a 30" hickory handle. Comes with a Maine-made custom sheath.
