Fellas, I found another weird looking hammer. Can you help please?

There are no markings whatsoever. It weighs 1 lb. x 5" long. I'm looking for info of any and all kinds if you please.

Thank you fellas

Almost looks like an Electrician's Hammer. Maybe a horseshoe hammer?

Farriers hammer, for horse shoes.

I found one in an auction lot recently, and looked it up in the Atha catalog at the International Tool Library.

I found the Atha Catalog as you said. That was pretty comprehensive and educational...thank you.
Looks like it's either this one on page 12:

The Atha Tool Co. : Illustrated Price List of Steel Tools : 1912 : Atha Tool Co. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

248 p., illus., 12.9 cm, trade catalog

I noticed the latter one weighs only 7 oz. whereas mine is 1 lb. Wasn't sure whether the lighter weight of a "farrier's" hammer was a hard and fast rule. And so, I'm still nutzed up...

Electricians hammers have an extra long neck, allowing hammering into deep junction boxes & have straight claw for ripping. I’ve seen very few in recent years, since we all use battery drills & screws now to mount boxes.
