Inherited this tool from father-in-laws shop. I don’t know what it’s purpose is and would appreciate any help that I can get. In a 2013 thread, I saw mention of Goldenberg axes so I decided to post here.
I can’t figure out how to post pictures to this forum so I will do my best to describe it.
It is made of one slid piece or steel. It weighs 2 1/8 pounds. It is 10 3/4” long. The handle is similar to that of a frying pan about a 1/2” thick and 7/8” wide, flaring out and rounding with a 1/2” hole for hanging. It has a double bladed head section that is 3 1/8” wide and 5” long sweeping back in an arc into the handle on either side. One side (the back?) is fairly flat until it reaches 1/4” from the edge and then tapers at about 15 degrees to the edge. At the center line of the width of the blade it is about 7/16” thick. From that center line on the “top” side it angles down toward the edges to within 1/4” of the edges, at which point it is about 3/16” thick and then bevels to meet the bottom angle, giving the tool two sharp edges. The cross section of the blade resembles a gable roof with a 3/12 pitch.
The logo is an oval containing a swan sitting on 3 courses of brick. Arcing around the outside bottom of the oval in all caps is GOLDENBERG which I found on a 2013 post stands for “premier quality”.
If anyone can tell me how to post pics, I’m sure it would be easier to understand.
