vintage old Mann fireman's tool fire axe Lewistown, PA

Vintage old fireman's axe with the pick on the axe poll, a hickory haft and worn old read paint. It is marked with "Mann - Lewistown PA". The iron ax head measures about 9.5" long over the pick and 3" high over the cutting edge. It is 27.5" long overall.

We've been told that the Mann family of Lewistown, PA made the "Red Warrior" axes from the shortly after the Civil War until about the turn-of-the-century, but we don't think that this axe is that old.

It does have a patina of age and wear.
