Is the adze a cooper's adze?"

Wonderful haul. The adze does look like Salaman's pictures of cooper's adzes,
except that the hammer end isn't scooped out. Maybe its an early one. The bevel
should be on the side toward the hand; it looks like the bevel has gone missing,
but if the blade is laminated you may be able to make out the steel on the other
side.
