Hello I have the same axe it's stamped HUB in first diamond & mine is 1909. Someone told me this was made for Hubbard ya dware Co. PA & it was manufactured by AA&T Co.HGB Axe?
I may have asked this years ago but its been a while and there's some new blood here, so does anyone have info on axes stamped HGB? See photo for stamp. Double diamonds with that in one and 1897, which is presumably the date, in the other. Came in a box of axes from somewhere northeast if memory...www.bladeforums.com

Hubbard & Co was divided into 2 entities before joining AA&TCo . Only axe making divisions got involved in the Trust.Researching Hubbard and Co. I found they were in business from 1902 - 1966 so your date precedes this so they may have had another co. Prior so yours may not be HUB.
Like this one (not mine)?:I'm about %98 it says HUB
The dates stamped on <HUB> axes seen to fall in between 1889 and 1921. It makes me think it had to be one of AA&TCo companies.Like this one (not mine)?:

Brooks, Baldwin, & Robbins were in business prior to 1900, but I am not sure what you have.
