I have one more axe head I'm curious about and wanting to identify. Hopefully we can be successful again with the help of Steve Tall.

Looks like Sager Chemical. May be a date just under the letters. I think I got up earlier than Steve today.
 
that was my first hunch however i have never seen the words Sager Chemical on the same line, always Sager on the top Row. Have you seen sager on the same line before?

Early ones had Sager Chemical on one line with Warranted underneath that then a date underneath warranted. I have a couple 1917 ones anyway set up like that.
 
On the plus side it's a Sager and a Puget Sound which are in demand brand and pattern. On the minus side it's worn down quite a lot. I don't have an estimate but collectors are usually looking for better quality than that.
 
The bits are worn down to a round profile. Puget Sounds are cool looking axes but obsolete mostly for actual use since there isn't much call for springboards anymore. So as a user I think it is too far gone too. There are cheaper ones out there much nicer. I would hold out for a better one.
 
Much appreciated input, I will hold out and try to get to some estate sales or flea markets. I really wan't to find a nice sager puget sound, something about that shape of axe :D
 
That one is not all rusted, but like the guys said it is worn badly. I suspect you will see more Chemical axes in that pattern than any other. Not all that easy to find them in good condition. They have been used abused and put away wet. It might take you a week or two.
