Hults Bruk – Turpentine Pattern – Early 1900s
I am wondering what year this axe was manufactured. I would also like to know it’s handle length.

Hults Bruk – Agdor Hatchet – Pre 1960s
Purchased for a few pounds (£4 to be precise) from a car boot sale in poor condition and restored to a shaving sharp edge. The handle retains “character marks” (chips, scrapes and marks etc..) but is still very serviceable and nicely oiled

Hults Bruk – Circle H + Agdor Stamp – 1950s
I can see an old HB in a circle next to an H in a circle. With the letters DOR underneath. The letters HUL under that. Then number 45 is stamped on the opposite side. Any idea of year or axe identification?

Hults Bruk – Agdor Montreal Pattern – 1970s
I was recently looking my old axe that was given to me about 10 years ago at an estate sale for one of my friends uncles. I had taken it home and “refurbished” it to use for camping, hence the orange paint on the head. Now after looking at the labelling and markings, and cross referencing a few posts on the site, I have come to a conclusion, first that it is definitely a Hults Bruk, and second that it is pre-1988 and post-1970…. I think. I’ll include some pictures, and if its hard to distinguish, it originally had a blue head, and a shorter(red) paint line on the now orange end of the handle. I had just elongated the paint line when the aforementioned “refurbishing” took place. The head markings are 1.1/ 2-1/2 and the other side is the makers mark “HB” and “Made In Sweden”. The sticker specifically states “AGDOR-FIX shafting”. So now after all that, I’m just wondering everyone’s thoughts, and maybe a more definitive answer on what head design the axe most represents and from what era/year if possible. Thanks in advance for the replies!!

Hults Bruk – Agdor Hatchet Pattern – Pre 1988
Trying to possibly date this axe. Was listed as a hatchet, has an 18” handle, but is a 2.5# head. Has a stamp on it named “Herker” but the second “E” is backwards. Has an 18” hatchet handle on it. Looks like it had some blue paint on it. Camera is not working well, so pics aren’t too great.
