Hammer?
Hello:
I am hoping to gain some information on this hammer which I own. Not sure whether a tool or something else. Head is hand forged and haft, although hand carved, likely a replacement. Haft is thin at the base. If a tool, no mushrooming at all. Bears some resemblance to a war hammer. Dimensions: Head is 10 inches Overall length is 27 inches total weight is 3 Ibs Thank you |

Looks like my grandfather's prospecting pick, circa 1900.

thank you for the information. Looks identical, right down to the machined steel and rubber handle.
