Warren Axe and Tool Company - March Manufacturer Thread

I have a 1939 sager Puget Sound, with some of the orginal blue on it. How can I get the handle, which is in horrid shape and broken, off without damaging the coloring or axe head? Thanks a ton, learned ALOT in just a couple hours on this forum, great posts!
 
One from the Warren Old Faithful line. A cedar pattern camp axe.



Another one:

Thanks Operator for the great info.
 
Very nice! I'm a fan of the cedar pattern. It always makes me think of a Hudson on steroids.
 
thanks for the info just found cruser in great shape marked warren and usfs I think it a axe given to forest rangers it has name on it and I am checking local history.
 
Wow, I just found an old double-bitted axe head in a pile of scrap metal, Seemed in "usable-but-dull" shape, so I started cleaning it, with a view to using it, and saw the SAGER stamped on the one side.
Now I know, from Operator1975's excellent post (thank you!) that I have one of the Canadian made Sagers (Hardly surprising, as I'm in British Columbia, Canada).

Is there a good resource to tell me which pattern of axe head I now have?

To add to the pictorial history, here's a 'Mann - Sager - Warren - Collins' era double-bit I picked up. Appears to be very lightly used with original edge profile.

Here is a bark spud made by Warren. It was hard to capture the burned in logo that has a Bulldog with World Famous inside and the words Warren Axe and tool Co. Axes and tools for Lumbermen

Here's a better image of the stamp on the handle of that Warren bark spud for posterity.

It reads,

Nice job of getting the Warren history together.

I live fairly close to Warren, PA and have worked at the refinery there a few times, it dominates the town for sure. Their tools pop up used around here often enough. I will try to dig up the Warren Peavy that is out at my father's somewhere, and I also know there is a Bulldog hammer here somewhere.

The chemical axes are fun to look at because it is very easy to see some of the work and processes that went into them when they are cleaned up.
 
Here we go, dug this out of my father's barn today. I had given it to him quite a few years ago and he never used it. In fact it looks as though nobody ever used it much at all. Interesting how they went to the trouble of putting their name on the hook as well as the end-piece, not everyone would go to that trouble I don't think.
