Found an OLD axe and crowbar in old trading route -- please help identify!

[jamiedw]

Hi TreasureNet folks,

I'm trying to figure out the origins of this pick axe and crow bar we found while exploring an old trading route. The pick axe has markings... maybe a "forge mark?"

Does anyone have any insights, or even pictures of other axes they know about that match this one? Would love to try to figure out the era/time it was made, origins, anything at all!

Thank you so much everyone. Casting about in the dark here...

I can't tell if the pick has an A or 4. If it's an A it could be an Ames ?

Hmmm I only see a B and an O, on opposite sides of some kind of arrow-like shape. Where do you see the A or the 4?

On the pic of the pick with the pry bar to the left of center. Could be just my eyes?
