Description: The A. Sanford Logging Tool Co. was established in Oshkosh in 1853. Oshkosh became known as a center for logging tools. In 1895 the Oshkosh Logging Tool Co. was established by a former Sanford employee, Elmer Leach, and sometime around 1906 Leach's firm took over the operations of A. Sanford. In 1911 they also absorbed the Oshkosh Tool Manufacturing Co. and changed the merged company's name to the Oshkosh Manufacturing Co. By 1924 the name had changed again, to the Leach Co., although we suspect that the Oshkosh Mfg. Co. name continued to be used for some time. This particular piece is in excellent condition for its age. The handle appears to be new because there are no wear and tear dings or dents on it. The metal has very minor surface rust and is also marked "SANFORD" "PAT. AUG. 21, 1883" "OSHKOSH, WIS" The handle measures approximately 36" longHooks measure approximately 10".The wood diameter at its widest center point is approximately 2 1/2" Weighs approximately 7.2 pounds The items I find are farm auctions, household auctions, etc. I will give you a description, to the best of my knowledge, regarding age and information found on those unique pieces. All sales are final, so I ask that you zoom over the pictures for a close view of them since I do NOT accept returns. If have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
