Hi – I have a small axe stamped HB Made in Sweden , the head weighs about 12 oz or 340 grams . Is this a rare HB hatchet and approx date of manufacture ?
At less than 1-lbs. this is probably a mini hatchet, probably made in the 1960s-70s. Not incredibly rare or old, but not one of the most popular and mass made models.
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.
