Vintage Meat Cleaver

Description

I have a vintage meat cleaver found in an old building in Lewisburg, TN that used to be a slaughter house prior to the 1950's. The cleaver is a 10" with a hickory handle. The markings on the cleaver say Cevoine (I am not sure about the v) underneath that is a diamond shape with the letter A in the center of the diamond and underneath the diamond it says WARRANTED. Directly under that is stamped the number 10 which I assume is for the length of the cleaver portion. The cleaver is in excellent shape.
