<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3659024, member: 33"]I just spent a little time looking for a citation for that 1957 article titled "The American Belt Axe." I didn't find a full citation, search results indicate that it seems to have been published in a periodical titled <i>The American Arms Collector.</i> Unfortunately, it seems that periodical was only published from 1957-1958, so not enough time for indexing services to have picked up on it, apparently. And I haven't found any digital copies online. WorldCat shows that 19 libraries own some or all of the issues. Eighteen of the libraries are in the U.S. and one in Canada. If interested, it might be a good idea for [USER=16265]@Ranger Rick[/USER] to contact a holding library to see if a reference librarian can identify a citation. Then you can request a copy of the article through Interlibrary Loan.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found that Robert C. Wheeler published some books and articles, but don't know whether that drawing, or a photograph of the piece, would be in any of them. One of the books, for example, is <i>Toast to the Fur Trade: A Picture Essay on Its Material Culture.</i> Publ. 1985. I found copies for sale online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
