Vintage TRUE TEMPER Produce Hatchet - No. TPB

Authentic vintage True Temper produce hatchet, stamped “TRUE TEMPER – No. TPB”, originally designed for produce handling, packing houses, and market use.

Produce hatchets were commonly used for:
Trimming and breaking down produce crates
Cutting root vegetables, squash, and bulk goods
Light chopping tasks in markets and packing facilities

This example features the characteristic thin blade profile and pointed toe, allowing for precise cuts rather than heavy splitting, which distinguishes it from camp or forestry hatchets.

The steel head shows honest wear, age patina, and tool marks from real working use. Visible is the signature nail pull positioned on the cutting edge.

Condition: Vintage used condition. Unrestored. Sold as found.
