Here are two hatchet heads I'm having trouble identifying.
The first one has a hammer handle installed in it. It dosen't fit, and I'm going to install a proper one once I ID the head.
Here are some pictures:
It measures about 5 3/8 inches long by 2 7/8 inches across the blade. it is about thick 11/16 inch across the eye. The whole hatchet including the handle weighs about 1 1/2 lbs. It is marked "PRESBREY".
What is the proper name for this style hatchet? If it were a full-size axe, I would call it a Hudson's Bay pattern, but does that pattern apply to hatchets as well?
The second head is small, too. It is unmarked. Here are the pictures:
It measures about 5 3/8 inches long and 3 1/8 inches across the blade. It is 13/16 across the eye.I know it's unmarked, but are there any characteristics that could help identify the maker?
Thanks,
Rick W
