Ax badge and question

I found this ax a while ago and from what I can find it was originally designed for roofing, working with wooden shingles. Hoping someone can confirm or give me additional info if I'm wrong. I use it for cutting kindling, works awesome and I keep it fairly sharp.

It is either a roofers or carpenters axe but not exactly sure which
I use a plumb axe that is similar that I use for similar jobs and use it for cutting small branches off trees and sometimes cutting roots around trees

Yeah that being because of the notch for pulling nails. The head is straight by the way, not offset.

The only ones I have ever seen offset are the broad axes made for hewing
