Own a classic piece of American woodcraft, scouting, and toolmaking heritage. Founded in Pennsylvania, Fayette R. Plumb, Inc.—famous for supplying military axes and entrenching tools to the U.S. Army and USMC—became the premier official manufacturer of Boy Scouts of America (BSA) axes starting in 1911. Among vintage axe collectors and Bushcraft enthusiasts worldwide, mid-century Plumb BSA Hatchets are prized for their superior high-carbon American steel, rugged durability, and classic lines.
This particular hatchet represents the classic post-WWII 1950s to 1960s production run, an era when millions of American scouts relied on these tools to master outdoor skills.
Key Features & Collector Details:

  • Crisp BSA Fleur-de-lis & Plumb Stamp: The left cheek is deeply and cleanly struck with the official BSA Eagle & Fleur-de-Lis emblem directly above the underlined PLUMB trademark.
  • Unsharpened Factory Edge & Clean Poll: Unlike most vintage scout axes that have been aggressively ground down on bench grinders over the decades, this head retains its 100% original unsharpened factory bevel, full bit profile, and a flat, unmushroomed poll.
  • Signature Red-Stained Hickory Handle: Mounted tightly on its original contoured American Hickory handle, featuring Plumb’s signature reddish-brown factory lacquer finish.
  • A wonderful piece of vintage Americana with clean lines and honest storage patina—ready to display in a collection or put to work as a dependable camp tool!
