I found a pick axe in Custer, SD $5.00 that was in real good shape. The stamp mark was Elliptical with Beall Bros. Alton, ILL. I did a quick net search and they made mining tools but is there any way to date the tool? The two ends of the pick are also a little different, wondering why.

Please provide some pictures of this. My old pick-ax has 2 different sides, too. A pick side (pointed) and a chisel side (narrow, flat). Enables one to "pick" at the rock wall, then 'chisel'/'pry' out chunks, or 'smooth' the face. It's big (10#) but you can be amazingly delicate with it.
