Brades double bit

[J-Ro83]

Wondering if anyone has any info on this old double bit.
Stamp is a bit worn but says brades.
Can’t seem to find any info on it online
Thanks

It's a Puget Sound Falling axe. I was unaware that Brades made them. It would have been for export to the US.

Have you looked for WILLIAM HUNT & SONS, THE BRADES, LTD., BRADES STEEL WORKS?

Hi
Thanks for the reply, that style of head make sense I’m on Vancouver island BC. Fairly certain the axe is from here.
Any idea of age on something like that??

This is a beautiful example of a brades puget the only It will pre date 1934 as they had reduced their line up by that point
If you’d be interested in selling it please let me know I’d be very interested in buying it as a collector of English axes
