Hmm, that's a new one on me. I don't recall ever seeing a Plumb/Hytest combo show up before while I've been around, but here's an old article on it.

Thanks, I've read everything I can find online about Hytest history and axes but can't find anything remotely similar to this

Plumb Australia was the maker of this tool, all their tools were stamped “Hytest”.
They later changed the company name to HYTEST to avoid litigation issue from Fayette Plumb US
This hatchet would be 1945
