Vintage Griffith Hatchet – USA Made

Vintage Griffith hatchet featuring a forged steel head clearly stamped “GRIFFITH – USA.” This is a solid, well-used American-made tool with heavy patina and unmistakable working character.

The steel head shows deep surface oxidation and age-consistent wear, with no cracks observed. The wooden handle is original and solid, showing darkening, scuffs, and tool marks from decades of use. An old wedge repair is visible at the eye — a common, period-correct fix that reflects how these tools were valued and maintained.

A great piece for collectors of American tools, rustic décor lovers, or anyone looking for an authentic vintage shop or cabin display.
