Axes were also used to prepare different parts of the animals they killed. They would butcher the meat and prepare the skins. They could also use them to dig up different things when needed. When needed, they were used as a weapon. Provenance: Private UK Collection. Danish collection, 1950s-1990s. Private Belgium collection between 1997-2007; then sold to a British collector.

Ca. 900–1100 AD. Viking Age. An iron bearded axe head with a curved blade, a reinforced square poll and a long cheek decorated with geometric incisions – a vertical row of dots and two triangular incisions. Good condition; mounted on a custom-made stand. Bearded axes were common from the 6th century AD onwards in Scandinavia but made especially famous by the Vikings. In bearded axes, the main part of the blade extends below the butt of the axe creating a large cutting blade that allows fighters to hook onto the shields or weapons of their opponents.

Ca. 1200–700 BC. Western Asiatic. A beautiful two-bladed axe head of the labrys type. Bronze weaponry production flourished from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC when it was gradually replaced by iron.

Most of the Western-Asiatic bronze items have been recovered in funerary contexts. Custom made stand included. Provenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.

Ca. 5000 BC. Neolithic period, Northern Europe. A large polished red-coloured stone axe with rounded edges, broad curved blade, and pointed poll. In the Neolithic period, people began to use axes that had been polished. The polished axes made it possible to cultivate the land – large trees could be felled so there was space for fields. But these axes were also used when houses and fences were to be built or if firewood was to be chopped. Besides being tools, axes could also have important ritual and social functions. Over the course of the Neolithic period, the shape of axes changed. First, they were ‘point-butted’, then they became thin-butted, and, finally, they were thick-butted. For a Neolithic stone axe head of similar shape, see https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1958-0506-5616. To find out more about Neolithic axes, see Kendrick, T. (1925).

Registration No: KJH 10GChassis No: GCN1-2328GMOT: ExemptThe subject of much restoration work between 1998 and 2009 but laid-up for the last few years due to the vendor's ill healthEngine overhauled and uprated with an alloy cylinder head, Kent camshaft, Maniflow exhaust system and machined flywheel etcQuaife limited slip differential, parabolic rear springs, polyurethane bushes, stainless steel fuel tank Intended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MG C was introduced in autumn 1967 and powered by a 2912 cc OHV straight-six engine. A strong performer, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 10 seconds and 120mph. However, the newcomer’s striking resemblance to its smaller-engined B sibling hampered sales. Thus, MG chose to axe the model in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs are understood to have been made.Entering the current ownership in December 1997, ‘KJH 10G’ was extensively restored and upgraded over the next twelve years. As well as chassis / sill work, the MG was treated to a new radiator, gearlever-mounted competition overdrive switch, stainless steel fuel tank, Quaife limited slip differential, rejuvenated suspension (Bilstein dampers, parabolic rear springs, sundry polyurethane bushes) and a set of Heuer clocks. The engine was overhauled too gaining an alloy cylinder head, Kent camshaft, Maniflow stainless exhaust system, Dural sump and machined flywheel etc. Finished in Green with what may well be its original Black leather upholstery, the Roadster was last on the road during 2018. Dry stored since then, it will require recommissioning prior to use. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file – a great winter project.
