Hults Bruk – 1.5 lb. Yankee Pattern – Pre 1988
I would love any information on this axe head that you can provide. I’m looking forward to using this and handing it down to my children who now know they are part Swedish. We traveled to Sweden because my wife’s ancestors are from Nora in Vastmanland. (I’m Asian American and am trying to learn more about the slöjd tradition of woodworking.)

The HB cold stamp on one side of the axe with the weights on the other side means this axe was produced sometime between the 1950s and 1988. Hard to put an exact date on these. The text style on the numbers also looks older. My guess would be closer to 1960-70s. The pattern looks like a Yankee axe. With a little love and work this axe should be in the family for a long time. Thanks for sharing!
