Oh it's a cleaver alright--it's just a "household" cleaver rather than an industrial one.
...help me figure out what it is...

Thank you all for your input on the mystery blade and actually I found one on ebay earlier and they listed it as a vintage Kitchen Hatchet.
Will it work on crow? 'Cause I think I need to eat a healthy helping.
It's only natural for you to look at it and think it looks flimsy, though. If it were made today the shank wouldn't be heat treated, so it would bend during serious use--and stay that way. Back in the day all the heavy wire/round stock tools were heat treated.
Briddell is good stuff, so I've heard. It sure looks it, at the very least! Great ol' choppers. Thanks for the pics!
