This is an Agdor Yankee pattern, that stamp was used in the 1950s and 1960s. However in the 1960s the Agdor line featured blue paint, while in the 50s it was green. The 5 stamp is interesting, usually the weight was stamped in both kg. and lb. In the 50s this pattern was produced in a 2.5kg/5.5lb and 2.0kg/4.4lb. I wonder if part of the stamp was worn off. If this is the 5.5lb axe head then it is a very big axe, one of the largest HB produced at the time. Thanks for sharing
