✅ SOLVED Old Railroad pick? Can’t decipher stamp markings.

I have never seen a. a pick like this. It is a little larger than the average pick. Let me know if you can decider the markings, or if you know the style. Thanks for the help!! It almost seems like part of it is backwards. There is a S.F. In the bottom right!

I don't think it's a railroad pick, it look more like a miners pick.

Interesting. Part of it is backwards. Here is a mirror image:



The backwards strike is pretty weak at the top. A. T. & S. F. Ry? Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway?

Maybe that's why the S. F. was added on... to clarify the original weak strike.

Thanks old digger, it came from a coal mining town and has had me puzzled.
