Not an axe, perhaps a cleaver. Also seen something similar for cutting heads off grain (wheat, rye, etc) in the day when it was shocked.

What purpose would the hook serve? Looked like a lochaber axe to me.

Not exactly sure what type it is but I'd say a type of bush axe, similar to this one...

.Vintage Fireman Brush Hook Axe from Estate w wooden handle very old | eBay

It is in used condition with wear and tear. It is from the estate of a Fireman from Princeton MA. It looks very simular to a Kelly Axe, but I could not make out any marks. Ill take a closeup of it.

The blade is on the opposite side which is what confused me. Its curved backwards. Could be though!
