Axe identification

[ekcutter]

Good morning. I have a friend who was asked to help clean out an old tavern which has been closed since the '50's. Among the many things that were found was a double edged axe, brand new with the cardboard cover on it and the sale tag stating Montgomery Wards. I have attached a picture. Looks like an ash handle, straight, but I didn't measure the length. Anyone want to add information to the find? Who actually made axes for Montgomery Wards (Sears also?), or whatever. Thanks.
