How old do you think this axe head is? Any other info?

Howdy, I found this near Flagstaff Arizona. It was laying on top of the ground so I'm not sure it is super old, it is much dryer in Arizona though so who knows, maybe things don't sink as much there.
Also, I'm not really looking for an axe head chart... I can find those anywhere on the internet but It looks sort of like a "Michigan Style" head. Is this correct? How old do you think it is?
Thanks in advance,

We had them in the 40s so my thought is they were around in the 20s or b4.

I have found that style from sites I have dug from the late 1800's.

I think it is fairly modern. It is factory made and without a maker's mark so it was probably originally identified with a paper label which wore off quickly. Most double bit axe heads from the late 1800s into the 1930s had the maker's mark deeply stamped into the steel, manufacturers were proud of their products and wanted everybody to know who made the product. No mark equals newer made on factory made axes.

I have dug dozens of double bit axe heads from the late 1800's and they don't have any makers mark on them. That style of blade is what the lumbermen used in that time frame.
