A beautiful scout hatchet! Did you refinish it for him? Did he give it to you?

Josh, He just let me borrow it so I could take photos. I did not think it needed any cleaning up, it was stored in a trunk in his attic for about the last sixty years. I thought it was interesting how some of the paint on the handle was worn down to the primer underneath, revealing some of the painting process used. And Phantom thank-you for the information on dating this.
