Swap meet blades : this weekend

I think cool picks … 1) Shrade -Walden #148 with resin handle and leather stitch/rivet sheath …circa 1960’s. I gave $8… some chingers on blade edge

2) CASE XX # 2138 , “Sodbuster” … mid-to-late 60’s . I gave $5…very dull blade edge but otherwise good condition.

3) Nichols Bros , “warranted” , #7 cleaver , made in Mass. , maker ties to Sheffield, Eng. , the brothers retired in 1920 ( so cleaver circa 1900-1920). Started culinary tool production in 1880. Heat temper line remains visible on this well used cleaver . Significant heft to the blade with hammering visible on the spine. I gave $22.
