Craigslist, Vancouver tools., vintage woodsmens tools. my son and is wife live there and I'm checking for a circular saw. what would that hatchet and ax go for on eBay or here? I was out there last week and if that listing had been up the hatchet would have come to new jersey ......not in my carryon luggage.

[Jim Koepke]

Couldn't find it.

Do you have the posting ID #?

Jim, try 3913140765 (tel:3913140765), VINTAGE WOODMANS TOOLS, $60.00. Vancouver. posted today. is it a oops....long drive for a big bargain for you?

[Jim Koepke]

It may be gone already.

The link didn't work nor did searching locate it.

Vancouver isn't that far away for a good enough deal. It is less than 50 miles.

Looks like a nice hatchet to me, but I don't know much about that stuff, but I'd jump on it at that price.

The "link" is the forum trying to be smart thinking that's a telephone number. If you go to the Vancouver CL (vancouver.craigslist.ca) and copy and paste that number into the search bar, it should come up. I'll PM you a direct link, Jim, just in case I'm seeing something you're not.

It's Vancouver, Canada - that's the problem. Certainly not a good enough deal to drive that far for.

It's not Victoria, for one thing!

[Rick Fisher]

Well.. yeah.. there is that..

I grew up in Victoria, its better than Vancouver.

It is a kind of low bar!

The problem with Vancouver, BC, Canada is that it is a much longer drive than Vancouver, Washington, USA for those of us assuming the OP was referring to the later.

[paul cottingham]

The bigger issue is the border crossing. The lineups can be be very long.

It is about a 300 mile drive as opposed to a 40 mile drive to Vancouver, WA for me.

I think the bridge on I-5 that was taken out by a truck might be back in service.

That is likely why it didn't show for me, my Craigslist book mark automatically picks up Vancouver, WA. Didn't realize it was Vancouver, BC.

I could just see the problem at the border, "your purpose for visiting Canada." "I want to get a hatchet."

my bad. if your from new jersey you think vancouver is Canada which is where the tools were. their prices look,uniformly lower than Craigslist in these parts.

Gentlemen:

I had seen the hatchet on CL and picked it up this morning - definitely hand forged, and lefty to boot! The guy had the edge ground, but it has nice patina on the rest of the head: handle not original. The broadwing (?) was gone.
I have a real nice PLUMB ( similar design ) my grandfather gave me, but righty. Since I am a lefty, I bought it as I want to use it once in a while.

FYI, not worth a drive from our southern neighbours.

Yeah, not as many collectors out here that want one of everything.
