Goodyear Axes?

[coloradowildman]

There was only one reference to a Goodyear axe on Google and nothing in the forums, so I was wondering, who made axe heads for Goodyear Tire way back in the day? I found a rusted, no name axe head at an antique shop and cleaned it with Evapo-Rust. Once the rust was off, I could see a classic "Good (logo) Year" stamped into the head. It's an earlier 20th Century Michigan-style 3 pound head, and I'm guessing it's between 70 to 100 years old. Thanks

I don't know a thing about them but I'd love to see a pic.

At one time, Goodyear sold appliances & tools of all sorts as well as tires & auto services. I bet they put it up for bids every few years for best price. May have been made by several different manufacturers.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try and post some photos of it in the next couple of days.
