Hults Bruk Pittsburgh Broad Axe – 1900s

Mine is the biggest axe in this display cabinet. It has an offset handle and the blade cuts to the left. Think it was used to shape timber for railway bridges or such. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    When you’ve got a good thing going, why stop?

    For some reason I want a broad axe. Not sure what I would do with it, but they look so cool.
