American Axe and Tool Company (A.A. & T. Co.)
New Port, Ky; Pittsburg and Glassport, PA
Formed as a corporation of Kentucky in 1889, the American Axe and Tool Company was a concerted effort by numerous investors to economize on the Morganifcation Movement. By purchasing and consolidating a number of axe and scythe manufacturing businesses, the company attempted to control the market of axe and scythe sales. Though the company failed in 1895, it was reorganized as a company based in Pittsburgh that year, and continued until 1924, at which time it merged with the Kelly Axe Manufacturing Company to form the Kelly Axe and Tool Company.
