---------------------------------------

 

In 1874 the W.C. KELLY company was formed and went on to become the greatest maker of iconic axes in the world.

 

In 1921 the Kelly Axe & Tool Co. purchased all the holdings and equipment, along with the rights to all the brands and labels, owned by the American Axe & Tool Co.

 

In 1930 the Kelly Axe & Tool Co. was purchased by the American Fork & Hoe Co. Axe production was continued under the new name of the Kelly Axe & Tool Works.

 

Eventually by 1949, American Fork & Hoe became known as True Temper. In 1987 the Kelly name was sold to Barco Industries where it remains today.

 

In a highly competitive turn of the century market of over 400 axe makers, the Kelly Axe Mfg. Co. stood above the crowd with catchy names, beautiful artwork and forged high-quality axes that people wanted to own. Names like "True Temper", "PERFECT AXE", "HAND MADE", "Black Raven" and "Falls City", created excitement and gave beauty and persona to the axe.
