I doubt anyone here has such axes to post pictures of.
A quality American made tool if taken care of only gets more beautiful with age, so the only ugly axes we could post pictures of would be broken heads that aren't worth seeing or axes in patterns we don't find appealing which we wouldn't keep.
Ugly may have been a poor choice of words, because you certainly won't here me using it to describe something I own and still consider to be an axe ( if it's broken and can't be fix it's no longer an axe )
 
Here is a 4lb plumb I got on the cheap. I discovered the plumb stamp while cleaning it up. It is pitted from rust . It is my go to splitting axe. I actually am quite fond of it.

I suppose it could be considered ugly. It is definitely my beater.
