VINTAGE BROAD AXE WITH THE LETTERS "HURDS" 5.375 "BLADE

This auction is for a AMERICAN BROAD AXE . I think it is also called an AMERICAN FINISHING AXE. it is beveled on one side only the other is flat.It has chips and dings but it is a tool and what do you expect.The handle is chipped below the head and I'm not even sure its the original handle but it was there when I got it .The handle may have been yellow at some time in its past and some paint remains where your hand would be.The blade is 5.375 inches long and has the letters "HURDS" and below that two letters that I can't distinguish clearly.
