Axe Pattern ID help, please

[the-accumulator]

This head has been kicking around my bench for way too long. Until today, I thought it was just too ugly for me to even clean it up:



So what makes this piece stand out from the rest? The pattern. It's neither a Michigan nor a Dayton. The pole shows no evidence of mushrooming, as in, maybe it has a hardened pole? And the corners at the pole have been ground off...a rafting axe, maybe? The eye ridges suggest it was TT-made. Don't flip it over, because the reverse side is pretty scary! However, if I ever get around to rehanging it, at 3lb 10oz, it might make a pretty good splitter. Thanks for watching! T-A

I’d say you are exactly right on both accounts. TT is not the only axe with ridges, but those are nice and pronounced like a TT. Very cool looking piece though!

I suspect it is just a worn (missing 6 oz from original weight) TT's Constructor's axe.
