Speaking of yard sales, went to one a couple of weeks ago and found this old cleaver in a box of junk. Bought it for a buck just because I've never had one and thought it was neat. Cleaned some of the rust off with oil and steel wool, and saw a maker's mark. It said WM Beatty and Son, Cast Steel, Chester, with an outline of a cow above it. Looked it up, and as best I can tell was probably made mid to late 1800's. I have it hanging on the wall under my gunrack now. Not the best pic, sorry, had to use my cell phone.
