That made me laugh.
I have seen heads with the bit looking thick like that but they were very corroded. Yours looks like it's pretty much intact.
Any ideas on the construction?
It is pretty neat JB.

Looks similar to the design in this 1898 patent (No. 29,680) by James P. Kelly:

I think the geometry is beautiful. Its of a type that we don't see much here in the pacific northwest. Not sure what a guy would tag that pattern (Connecticut maybe?) but they can have some age to them and that one does I suspect. They seem to be nice sized axes also. I would have been all over that one.Some have hidden potential I guess. Thanks for the vote of confidence though!
Its begging to chop with plenty of life left in it.....
. Love the handle shape. It has cracks...........I may try to save it(the handle),it feels great.

thats a very weird file handle
I grabbed it and the half round file in it for $2 without looking very close. But, once home and inspecting closer, their is no stamps or marks on either. They both may be vintage imports. The handle is quality made, though.
