Hello first post here. Wondering if anyone can help identify this tomahawk? Looks like a roofers tool but cant find any info on it. Advice on hanging it would be appreciated due to the detent/nub in the eye. Worst case I grind it off but dont want to if I can avoid it.

Thanks much!
 
It's just a common type of inexpensive hatchet design throughout the world.
True temper here in the US tried something riveted together like this In the 60's-70's but otherwise we dont really see this style much out here.

I'm not sure how you'd best hang it.
 
Help Identifying Tomahawk!!!
I have this hawk. It weighs about 1 pound. It is at least 40 years old that I know of. It appears to have a bird (a black raven?) on the space between the bit and poll. Did Kelly/TT make actual hawk like this? Any input would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!

I don't see the bird , but no I don't believe Kelly offered a tomahawk.
The only American axe / tool manufacturer I can think of who offered a true Tomahawk was Mann who owned Norlund, Norlund had a little tomahawk in their lineup. It's a very distinct and unmistakable hawk though, very stylized with a faux flint snapped kind of surface to it.


this looks DIY / Blacksmith made, they've been a common smithing project since the muzzle loader frontier thing really exploded in the 60's and got even bigger after Jeremiah Johnson came out in '72

HnS, I edited the pic and circled what I believe to be a birds head, eye, and beak. See if you can spot it now. Thanks!
