Description: EARLY PRIMITIVE WOOD LOG END This is a great piece of Michigan logging history. In the mid to late 1800's during the heyday of the logging industry in Michigan, Bay City's riverbanks were lined with sawmills.As the logs were cut in the North woods the many logging companies floated their cut logs via the river to transport them to the sawmills for processing. Each company had its own logo or mark. The mark was branded into the end of each log with an iron hammer. When the log reached the sawmill the mark or brand was used to credit the lumber to the owner of the mark. This created the opportunity for others with a nefarious purpose to purloin the logs by cutting the end off of the logs and marking them with their own brand, thus getting the credit as they were processed. As the river receded in some later years these log ends were often found along the riverbanks as they were uncovered. This is one of those log ends.The brand mark is S over 5. The screw eyes were added to hang on a wall as a piece of wall art. This piece is very large measuring 10" diameter X 6" thick. This is part of a very large logging collection that we have decided to offer for sale after enjoying collecting them for many years. THANKS FOR LOOKING LG5Logging Case
