Update on the Ax Head I soaked for 2 days

[Truth]

Soaked it in Rust Be Gone for 2 days. If anyone knows a age guesstimate I’d appreciate the help.

I think that it would be considered a shingle hatchet. Put it back in to soak some more. You might find a makers name or mark.

Gotcha is there anything else you could recommend for treatment?

Congrats on the axe head Truth.
VPNavy has a chart on Axe heads that will identify that axe and it's age.

I used it to ID mine as a 1880's Michigan
