Hults Bruk – 4lb. Yankee Pattern – Post 1988
Hey, my uncle gave me this axe head. I cleaned her up in vinegar and steel brush, then gave it a bit more with the grinder and flap wheel. Got some more work to do on it. Was wondering if anyone knows what model it is?

Hults Bruk – 3.5lb Yankee Pattern – Pre 1988
I recently discovered that the old axe that I had carried and used for many years was not just any old hardware store axe. It originally belonged to my great uncle and I figure it was probably purchased in the 70’s. At some point the handle was replaced but was in need of a new one once more. I found a few places where blue paint was very faint. It looks to have the pre-88 cold HB stamp on one side and 1,5/3 1/2 on the other. I’m looking for any information on its original model so that I can find a replacement handle and sheath to restore it to its former beauty.
Thanks

Hults Bruk – Hatchet Pattern – Pre 1988
Axe handle is 24 inches, head markings are HB in circle w/ arrow… opposite side is 1.0 over 2 1/4.
See photos below. Can you date the axe and was my purchase of $45 at auction a good deal?

Hults Bruk – Yankee Pattern – Post 1988
Hi there I’ve got a lot of axe heads going to scrap and were all rusted together. These are the first ones I cleaned up and now on there way to being polished. I was just wondering if you can identify the HB axe it has 09 on one side and 2 on the other side. Thank you in advance.

Hults Bruk – Yankee Pattern – Pre 1988
I just cleaned and sharpened this little handy axe, which remember using a lot as a boy in late 70s and early 80s. After sharpening, I created a leather cover and also added some leather to the top of the handle to cover some minor damages.
I’m not sure exactly which model it is…

Hults Bruk – 1 kg Yankee – Pre 1988
I inherited this Axe head. I don’t know if my father or grand-father was the person who originally purchased the head so I don’t know how old it might be. It did not have a factory handle so I don’t know if it was purchased as a separate head only or had a handle. Can someone tell me how old this head is and what would be the original handle type so I can restore it to as close as original condition as possible. Thanks for any help!
