Estwing Rock Pick - Before

I don't know how old this rock pick is, or what Estwing's model number for it is, but it does look to be an early one. The stacked leather handle grip is all original at this point, but it seems to be lacking the signature black and white decorative discs near either end of the grip.

I've only been able to find a few Estwing tools without them shown on-line. This one looks to have been used but not abused. A few minor dings show, but all in all, it's a keeper.

Interesting note: The Apollo 11 atronauts used picks just like this, but with the decorative discs, when they trained in the Grand Canyon in 1964. It seems they may have also taken one like it to the moon in 1969. I really need to verify that. I also wonder what ever happened to the rock picks they used back then.
