Anyone know anything about this brand - 'Cruso' ?

[kfields]

I bought this nice long handled hatchet, or maybe it's a short handled ax. Anyway, I think I could use something like this around my spread so I ended up buying it at the local flea market this morning for $3. From end to end, it is 17 1/2 inches long. The head is 6 inches wide at its widest point.
I was wondering what its' age was and where it was made.

Thanks!

Hi Kim
Found this on a google, I searched Cruso forged axes. Seems to be an old company. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/old-cruso-railroad-c-nw-ry-rr-heavy-broad-hatchet. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/old-cruso-railroad-c-nw-ry-rr-heavy-broad-hatchet
