Wow these are in great shape! The cold HB stamps puts the production sometime between 1950-1988. Hard to tell exactly, if there is any blue paint on the axes, then it would suggest closer to 1970s. The pattern and weights are similar to the Yankee pattern axes. My guess is these were made around the 1960s. The 1.1 kg Yankee doesn’t show up in more recent catalogs, but is in the 1958 catalog. Hope this helps! Thanks for sharing
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.
