Need a little help on an Axe logo....

[Eric Isaacson]

This is my first axe refinish/refurbish, while cleaning it up I found this logo on it. Can't see much of it but I tried to take a picture of it and hopefully can get a little info. Any help would be appreciated.

It is an OVB but was made by Plumb - hence the triangle mark.

Thank you both for the information. That is exactly what I was looking for.
