A really old hewing axe. The HM stamp means it was made between 1884 and 1930. The style of axe is pre-1930s. I think HB stopped producing collared axes by the mid-1920s. My guess is this axe was made after 1884 and before 1920s. Great find!
You can create a new view of axes by using any of the menus below. Filter by year produced (in decades), by the type of axe or
hatchet, or by whether or not the item has been identified.
