The Circle HB maker’s mark with ‘Hults Bruk ABY” text was used between 1884 – 1930. This pattern is hard to identify, the stepped poll is throwing me off. But it looks like the carpenter’s styles made pre-1900s.

Recent research has identified this axe head as a “Hjartum” pattern.
Interesting that the Hults Bruk company would product a style of axe head named after a village in Sweden that today has less then 400 residents. Wow!

Awesome axe, wish I could find one of those
Neil PareOctober 3, 2017 at 3:44 pm
I love that shape, it reminds me a little of some of the Carpenter’s axes tjat are being made now.
Alan GoetzOctober 3, 2017 at 10:47 pm
Outstanding! Probably the coolest one I’ve seen so far.
BenAugust 1, 2017 at 6:52 pm
Correct. The pattern is a regional style Hjartum carpenter’s axe. Used mainly for timber framing. Although it’s an old design the axe itself is a relatively new production.
The HB logo was introduced in 1930 but wasn’t commonly used until the late 60s. With The Hults Bruk ABY stamp carrying forward As well.
The first catalog reference I’ve seen to this pattern was in a Wetterlings 1958 catalog with Gransfors, Wetterlings and Husqvarna still currently producing Hjartum carpenter’s axes.

Correction. Mid to late 50s
