Wow. Looks like your tomahawk still has some war paint on it. Amazing if it the real deal.

I would bet that the tomahawk is a tourist piece. Can we get a picture of the cutting edge.

I think your right Steve... my buddy researched it this morning and that is what he came up with too. Still was very interesting to find it where he did.

Those jugs were invented about 1890. You can still buy them around here. Only a few stores in Lancaster County have them. They have the straight sided crocks for sale also. Yours is probably 80-100 years old.

The "tomahawk" looks like something kids would do. I had one like it once. Also had a rubber one with a bamboo handle.

You could fill the jug and allow your buddy to drown the let down. Nice jug BTW
