✅ SOLVED Any ideas on this aluminum tomahawk

Well made 5 1/4" Feels heavier than aluminum. No magnetic. Paper weight? Made for what reason? Any ideas? Thanks

Don't know nothing about it but I do like it. Interesting. I would have it on my shelf in the man cave.

First thing that came to mind was Lil Beaver, the sidekick to Red Ryder...$0.25 and a comic book coupon (for those who cannot afford a Red Ryder BB gun)...

Remember one from long ago...

Far to classy for that, I believe. Almost looks to me like someone tried their hand at melting aluminum and chose to make a cool-looking axe head. Only, they forgot to include a hole for the handle! There's been a lot of polish work done on it, and yet you can still see where it was clamped tightly in a vise.

I dunno - maybe someone making a prop for a play/movie/reenactment? ...Maybe the hole was left out intentionally. I guess the next question should be, was this "purchased" somewhere or was it "found" using a metal detector??

I had metal casting in Jr. High, lots of Indian type stuff for some reason. Whoever cast this forgot to place the core into the mold before they poured, the hole would've been oval so drilling it was out., probably graded an "F"
