Description: |
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“The only novelty, if novelty it be, claimed by this inventor, or discoverer, is, the taking a piece of iron sufficiently large for an axe, and punching it through for the eye, so that the whole may be made with no other welding, than that of the steel for the cutting edge: he says, What I claim to be my particular discovery or improvement, and which I wish secured by letters patent of the United States, is the opening of the eye through the solid bar of iron, and then making the axe without the necessity of welding any part, unless it be that of welding in the steel.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 4, Jul. 1829 pg. 54
