Vintage Vaughan Value Brand double bit axe head made in the USA. Full-size double bit pattern with a “VAUGHAN / VALUE BRAND” stamp on the head.
Vaughan & Bushnell was a long-established American tool manufacturer, and Vaughan catalogs from the mid-20th century document production of double bit axes. This example appears consistent with mid-20th century production, approximately 1940s-1960s.
The head has a broad 9 7/8” overall length with approximately 4 1/2” cutting edges on both sides. A short section of the old wooden handle remains in the eye, which may be useful as a reference when fitting and hanging a replacement handle.
