Help with identifying yard sale find

[andybtruckin]

I picked up two single bit axes today. One's a Michigan pattern, the other a Dayton. 3-1/2 lb heads as near as I can tell. No markings on the heads. The handles are marked VB Strikers Construction Tools who I can't find anything about.
They appear almost new, just a little surface rust. 36" handles in good shape.
Are these U.S. made? Chinesium? Something else? They look like serviceable users. I probably would have passed on them but for $10 for the pair they followed me home.

Amazon and Walmart both sell VB Strikers tools. Vaughan & Bushnell Company.

A division of Vaughan & Bushnell, but I believe they're made in india.
Currently ( at least until they close down ) they make some hatchets in house but their full sized axes are made in India and I suspect these to be the same.

Thanks for the replies, VB, Vaughn and Bushnell, I should have made the connection. I also picked up a couple of double bits at the same yard sale. A Vaughan forest service and a True Temper Flint Edge Kelly Works. Four axes for $20, I can't complain.
