If I recall correctly, this photo came from a roll left inside a Sabre 620 camera I picked-up a while back. I imagine that roll had been sitting in the camera for around 60 years. It's part of someone's memories.
Anyone know the brand of this axe
Here's a rather nice axe that I found recently. The head was not fitted to a shaft and despite some rust and a small dent at the low end of the edge, I think it might not even have been used.
I've made a shaft of a piece of straight grained birch from my firewood pile, and although the handle needs some slight modification and a more aggressive curve around the grip area near the knob, it works rather well with this head.
The axe itself is very nice. The head is forged and provides a distinct ringing sound when struck with something metal. Although it is sharpened on both sides of the head, it works very well for stock preparation and creating rough shapes.
The one thing I don't know is the name of the maker of this axe. The ead has a logotype which looks like an animal footprint with seven digits. Although this can occur amongst cats I'm not sure a cat is the inspiration. But if you happen to know whick maker used this logotype, I'd be happy to know it.
The opposite side of the head is marked "2 1/2". This could be related to the weight of the head. 2 1/2 lbs is about 2100 grams, and my axe weighs a tad more than 2200 grams including the handle.
If the number relates to weight, then I would guess the axe head was made either in the Commonwealth countries or in the United States.
The bit is 6 inches wide.
