F H C.o.

F.H. Co. Hard too make out but has anyone heard of this company. Looks too start with a B for location

Possibly Boston? I've seen that big number next to the name/location somewhere before, Yankee Josh might recognize it.

I'm seeing R U E in the second line or possibly B U E and a distinct 5.

You two can see a photo?

Ah, don't know how I missed that!

 

[Yankee Josh]

Unfortunately I do not recognize any of the stamp though.
I think the one A A17 Is remembering is one I have that is stamped
M. H. CO. 08
Nearest I can figure out that was an abbreviation Marshal Wells Hardware used.
But I'm drawing a blank on F.H. Co.

I appreciate your efforts

What about A F&H C.o.??? I’m clueless on this one

I love these mysteries!

I did some digging earlier today chasing the American Fork & Hoe Co ( A F & H Co) idea and never found a stamp that supported a connection to this axe. All of them stamped the name written out and not just the initials.

The "5" stamp to the right screams of American Axe Tool Co with them stamping the original plant they made the axe but 1) their numbers were smaller and in a circle and 2) "5" was Underhill in Nashua NH, so the writing on the bottom doesn't make sense.

It's obviously presents as being late 1800- early 1900. The lettering sure looks American.

More picture would help. Profile and eye pics could help date imencesly. And narrow down things like country of origin (if my 'lettering sure looks American' is wrong).

I miss Steve Tall. He'd figure this out in a heartbeat. He sure has a knack for these old stamps.

 

[Comatose]

Full picture I can’t figure out how to make it show in thread

Look for a hardware outfit with those initials.I have an old plumb with a diamond mark like that one

Maybe the location could be BUFFALO?

 

[Nsvens89]

Also after searching Buffalo axe companies apparently there was a Francis Axe Co in Buffalo. Have a look at the link below and maybe this will give you some clues.

I just acquired an adze with the same stamp it says Bulldog under the F H CO. Mine is stamped with a 1 instead of a 5

Warren Axe & Toll had Bulldog logging tools.
I have no idea if there is a connection there.
