    Default What make of axe is this

    Does anyone know this makers mark on this axe. Made in England stamped on the other side.
    It looks like a triangle S. It seems good steel, very sharp

    Spearwell was the company formed when Spear & Jackson amalgamated with/bought over Elwell. They then went back to the S&J name.

    were many of them made under that name? it could be quite an unusual piece and worth a bit?
