Anyone recognize this old ax? Came out of New Hampshire. Looks like it has a Christmas tree on the blade.
Thanks for any assistance in identifying this.

Pretty common design of trade axes from 1600s-late 1700s. Nice to see a full size one like this.

Here in Florida I've worked on many axes patterned like that from Spanish shipwrecks and from the 14 Spanish Mission sites around Tallahassee. I think they are referred to as a Spanish pattern or Viscayan axe. James Levy
