The polished stone axes (see drawings) made of highly polished `greenstone' and a hard chalky material, both ingrained with soil, were from the collection of the late Herbert Edwards (the knapping family) and are also probably `copies'.
Note a similar stone axe, possibly manufactured by Frank Edwards - see BRD Misc Neo, CRN 09912.
