I.P. and Milandro, thank you for returning the discussion to the machete!
As noted in Brinckerhoff & Chamberlain (1973) an image of a Collins type machete is shown (my post #20) and it is note that this firm was producing these from about mid 19th c. Naturally U.S. interests later in Central and South American countries would bring the firm to expand its presence into regions with such demand for these products.
