That is a somewhat common small tomahawk like axe that shows up from 
time to time.   I've had maybe 10 of those over the years.  No idea 
on the maker of them but it was a factory produced item.  Someplace, 
some time I remember a couple of guys talking about how at a farm 
auction, a whole bucket of them showed up.  The handle is a 
replacement or somebody's idea of a good time but when I find them 
they are always just the head.  People do pay some good money for them though.
