Bad eyes, but it looks like a tack hammer for upholstery work. One end of mine has a magnet to pick up the tacks.

That's what My very first thought was, too, an upholstery tack hamer.

Maxwell's Silver hammer...


To come down upon his head, of course.

A murder weapon.

Bang bang.

Without looking at the responses, that's a tack hammer. The split side of the head can be used to start small finish nails and is also magnetized to start tacks too small to hold.

Too d*mned small to tell is what it is.
