SALE HIGHLIGHT Largest 18 1/2" Southern Barbed Axe, 27.5lbs, HUGE, Found June 1926 by Univ. of South Carolina, Simpsonville, SC

This piece has incredible history. First of all, it is the LARGEST axe that I have ever encountered from the US. This piece is well made and in great overall condition. This is a southern barbed axe and was found in June of 1926 by four students from the University of South Carolina in the proximity of a mound site near Simpsonville, SC on the Reedy River. This was donated to a museum in Myrtle Beach, SC where it resided until the museum closed in 1967 and contents auctioned. When originally auctioned by the museum, the axe sold for $8,000. This piece was then in the John Griffin Collection (Columbia, SC), Richard Baker (Atlanta Georgia), William Furr (Columbus, Mississippi) and lastly Walt Podpora Collection. This is massive measuring 18 1/2" long x 8" wide weighing in at 27.5 lbs. Do not miss out on this impressive axe! This axe has been housed in this large suit case for many years and will accompany this piece when sold. This sat on in the middle table on clear display in Walt Podpora's Axe Shed. A truly one of a kind, impressive piece!
