Thanks for the help! I figured you folks would know. I know little to nothing about the world of metalworking other than welding and body work (I'm a mechanic who specializes in classic vehicles), but I plan to put together a forge sometime this winter and start learning. I'm going to put a handle on the punch and hang it on the garage wall or something. Thanks again.

New member here - I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I found this hammer in an elderly gentleman's scrap pile that he allowed me to pick through... I suppose I am a sucker for old tools. It was significantly rusted with a very warped and rotted handle. I finally got around to soaking it in evaporust this week and while it cleaned up nicely, there is not enough of the logo left for me to read any of the letters. It appears to have a hairline crack across one side. I also don't know what it is for, it is a rather unusual hammer. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
