Antique Ice Axe  by Gifford Wood Co. handle is marked W.H. Simmons 

This is a Great Looking  Ice Axe used for Ice Harvestiing 

Measures approx 26 1/4 " Long x 11 1/2" across the Axe head and 1 1/8" Thick at the Axe head 

I think it is a very Nice Display Axe plenty of rust Patina and Wear & Tear plus the name on it adds a lot to its look !!
