Well I was wrong. It is the original handle. I will post a picture soon.
Those smaller ones my friend are called saddle axes, I believe agent H has one, marbles sells one tooI was poking around online when I came across this ad. Seems normal, right? I thought so too until I looked at the cruiser part. 1-2.5lbs with 16", 19", and 28" handles. Has anyone on here come across any of the smaller weights and handle lengths? If so, what did you think of them?
Warren Axe & Tool Co's 1937 catalog (page 10) lists them as "Smallest Double Bit Axe Made", with a 1 pound weight and 16" handle, available in Sager and other brands.I was poking around online when I came across this ad.

Anyone have a clue what company GNF co. Was? I was worried the handle was cracked but its in great shape. Beautiful old knob end!
You're absolutely right! Thank you for that Steve. Great northern had a huge presence around where i grew up. My father worked there in fact at the Bucksport, ME. paper mill before i was born. I found it curious that whoever owned it previously had taped the handle. it appeared that perhaps they were trying to cover the initials? The pickaroon itself lacks any markings but i can tell it's good steel. Thanks again Mr. Tall...I think it's GNP CO which is probably the
Great Northern Paper Co
which had a mill at Millinocket, Maine...
"Great Northern Paper Company was a Maine-based pulp and paper manufacturer..."

B Brian Rust check it out bud, nother KP with the heel knocked offMy internet is back! I've been doing a little bit more selective purchasing lately. Pretty excited about my finds. I already cleaned and hung the plumb Michigan 32 in the back.
I didn't know anyone made a legit tiny hewing hatchet!? A Winchester, the name at a slight slant... and a Stanley no51 spoke shave.
I know it's impossible to see in the photo but it says "underhill edge tool co warranted cast steel" and has a #5.

This Kelly perfect will make an excellent user. I will have a stunt bit and a keen bit and won't be afraid to use it hard.
Again hard to see but it says "Warren" in cursive.
Thanks for looking guys, good to be back!
