Description: The originator of the company that was to later become known as the Bradley Axe Co. was Wakeman Bradley who relocated to Weston, Connecticut from Southport and commenced to make axes there. That was in 1812 after he had learned the trade from David Wakeman. During the ensuing years Gershom Wakeman Bradley, Wakeman Bradley's oldest son, worked with his father and learned the trade. In 1834, Gershom Wakeman Bradley bought what had previously been a comb factory that was located on the Saugatuck River in Weston, Connecticut. It was there that he started to make edge tools under his own name. The establishment was called G. W. Bradley's Edge Tool Factory. The business continued under the leadership G. W. Bradley until 1854 when it was destroyed by what was called a freshet. This axe head is in unrestored condition but with a clear stamp. Bring this diamond in the rough back to its glory and make the most of this rare axe for your collection.
