Heya, trying to identify a smith mark!

[Fuzzydevil00]

Hey everyone, I appreciate your time. I posted a link here to a picture, where the picture shows the mark i couldn't identify. I checked all of the marks I could to try to match it up. But I cant figure it out. The stamp is of an axe, but not any I could see, because in the middle of the axe handle there is a big ol block that just kinda sits where the handle is. Check out this picture, I can't figure out who this is made by and would appreciate any help.

The stamp kinda looks like this, if the > was the head of an axe.

Hi ~ welcome to the forums. The mark, which you've shown upside-down, is a 'fasces', and belonged to Newark, NJ manufacturer William B. Kerr & Co.:
