An elderly family friend sold their summer cottage and let me raid his workshop there - here's the haul

Some of it will come in handy, and some I just wanted because of the traditional, respectable brands. For example, I think those two Billnäs pipe wrenches were hand-forged. A lot of it was well-used and rusty, but very few of them said “Made in China” either.
Nice knolling!
What’s that little primus bottle thing? I feel like it’s dredging up some very early childhood memory for me.
A small canister of some sort - lighter fluid, I presume, though it doesn’t say on the label.
That's a priming alcohol bottle for those classic Primus kerosene stoves
Those pipe wrenches are awesome, thanks for sharing.
Cool looking axe (top one) special use maybe?
It’s a traditional Finnish general-purpose axe made by Kellokoski
Cool style/shape
And they were forged like beasts, see Hydraulic Press vs Axes – Testing Old and New
That was a pleasure watching while high on gummies.
Interesting angles on those hatchets, any brand name on them?
It’s a traditional Finnish axe design - the brands are Fiskars and Kellokoski. Kellokoski, along with Billnäs, was later bought by Fiskars.
I’ve got a handful of these axes. While they’re not exactly rare, ones that don’t need a new handle are somewhat hard to come by - especially outside of Finland. They’re no longer being made, and an axe head like this can easily be 70 years old, if not older. There are bushcraft and camping purists out there who’d pay good money for an axe like this.
Three old film containers for storing weed! Nice!
