Hello all,

I would love some help identifying this old broad axe. I was at a farm in Nebraska and the farmer there dug this up. One of the other things he found was from the 40s. The axe has serious pitting, however part of the old makers mark is still visible. I can make out 'STEEL' and 'TED'. There is a closeup picture. This is my first experience with a broad axe.

Any ideas?

Just a guess here. I. Blood Cast Steel Warranted.

12" Broad axe cast steel

I've had this broad axe for several years now and decided the other day to get rid of the shiny galvanize looking coating. But after a little sanding I'm not sure its a coating. I can barely make out some of the stamping but some of its pretty legible. Blood cast steel warrented...
