DEMON Axe

[Casehardn]

No... not a B-movie from the 70's.

I actually found an old axe at flea market today. Near the poll is a very small, upper case letter stamping, which reads: "DEMON". It has a Dayton or Connecticut style head. Nice old Patina on a 32 inch (well-weatherd) handle with scroll knob.
I will post pictures at a later time.

The only information I can find on it is in the "Axe Makers of North America" book, by Allan Klenman.
It says on page 141, that it was sold by Honeyman Hardware Co in Portland Oregon around 1935.

Anyone out there have one of these, or know who might be the manufacturer behind this brand?

Now i know something else to look for. A demon axe would be amazing.

Possibly a Kelly axe. Not sure of the background behind the nomenclature "DEMON".

THANK YOU Cooper Hill.
That stamp of the word "DEMON" looks just like mine. The angled parts of the letter "M" have an ever so slight curve to them.
I should be able to post pics when I get home tonight. Gave the handle some oil, resharpened the bit and the chips were flyin' on my test log last night.
I could make out a slight 5 under the poll, and it feels heavier than my other axes so I'm guessing it may be a 5 pounder.
