Hatchet ID request

Bought a couple axes on Facebook marketplace yesterday and the seller threw in this older hatchet as well. Weight is ~1.25lbs and the cheeks have a nice slight convex. The stamp reads "C.W. Meador" which I'm pretty sure is just an owner's mark. There may be faint traces of a marker's mark on the bottom eye that I cannot make out. Inside of the eye is slightly ridged. There were 19 nails (and no wedge) securing the head to the haft! Some are square cut nails, so I suspect the vintage of the hatchet is reasonably old. Any ideas?
