Hi Carl,
The photos of the iron object you posted are interesting. Perhaps we
could give you more information if you could tell us why you think that the
object is prehistoric, why it is meteoritic and why it is an ax?
Thanks,
Peter Scherff

Thank you Jack,
Does anyone have any photos of Toluca tools they could share? Any other
thoughts about Toluca as a sour se of this axe? If from Toluca would that make
this a possible Mayan or Aztec culture or would you simply say Pre-Columbian
artifact? Thank you.

List,
Please forgive me. I had some old photos I forgot to delete. What I am looking
for is the correct age and culture of this antique Axe made of meteorite iron.
Thanks Carl
