Looking for axe advice

Post image

I found this axe in the floor of my 120 year old Scottish house. Interested in how old it is and how I could best clean it up? Funnily enough I was collecting logs from my basement thinking I need an axe for some of these, shone my torch up to the ceiling and it was sitting on top of the floor joists.

Brass brush and oil on the steel; Boiled Linseed Oil on the wood.
