tiny hatchet

BrianS:
Hello Everybody,
Kevin aka "Buffalo Gobbler" gifted me this tiny old hatchet. I believe it was intended as a toy for a small child. I cleaned it up some and it is now hanging up in the barn with my other axes. Anyone ever see one like this? Any info would be appreciated.
Take care,
brian

Pat B:
Cool little ax, Brian. Just what every little boy would love.  )-w(

Gimlis Ghost:
I remember such a child sized hatchet sold in the fifties or early sixties. They were painted green.
Never examined one closely enough to tell if they would take or hold an edge.

About the same time there was a neat looking folding survival hatchet available by mail order. I wish I'd ordered one of those. The handle folded around the blade and it could be carried in a pocket. From the look it should have been useful in downing saplings and cutting limbs to construct a shelter, and chopping through joints when butchering game animals.

Pappy:

White Falcon:
