Here's a interesting article about the Collins Company of Collinsville CT https://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/tools/history-collins-axe-works- zmlz18junzhur/ which probably was the biggest maker of edge tools in CT at one time. I believe the pikes for John Brown's raid on the Harpers Ferry arsenal even came from Collinsville . The factory buildings are mostly still there but are slowly falling apart https://encyclopediavirginia.org/1153hpr-0dce86d79cd1d13/ Paul H. |
