Started cleaning the rust off this hatchet head that belonged to either my grandfather or his father before him. I was pleasantly surprised to find an HB logo under it all! What do I have and how to I get a replacement handle? It’s time for this hatchet to come out of retirement.

The cold HB stamp means this axe was made before 1988, it looks like a Yankee pattern with the blue paint from the Agdor line.
