That looks similar to the union label ( the mark left by a milled hammer face).

That's interesting. It's definitely on both sides. The ax is not hung correctly.

Do you have pics of the entire axe head?

Lacking a poll it's pretty common for them DBL bits to have the eyes beat up on all manner of things too.

This is a relatively modern 1980's+ Michigan pattern, and there's really no telling who made it or where.
These are fairly common ( I have a head around somewhere), and I'm not sure if there's an answer on them.
They could possibly be a Collins from the 90's, maybe something made in Mexico or India 20 years ago.

Nice looking axe. Looks like a Michigan pattern. Looks to be in decent shape. Does it have ridges in the eye? Some unmarked axes do, and that can give an idea of a couple or three different manufacturers. I have a couple of Kelly/True Temper that look very similar to that with eye ridges in one of them. They can come in different numbers and configurations. 3,4,5,6 ridges set symmetrically or non-symmetrical in pattern. Good luck on your info hunting.

Thanks all. I will check for the ridges. I bought it to use, so if it holds an edge I'll be happy. I bought a bluegrass the same day.

What kind of Belknap did you purchase?

Around here we call that a scab label.

Another double bit. Slightly rougher shape. Grubbing end Slightly more sharpened.

Never mind. Can't upload pic. Going to start new thread about a possible unmarked Granfors double bit I've had for sometime.
