Help Identifying Stanley Hammer

[jlhamilton81]

Hello Community,
Having some trouble confidently identifying this seemingly old Stanley Hammer.
I can make out the Stanley but cannot fully make out the other words underneath.
About a half inch under Stanley I can make out what I believe is a word that ends in "tain"

The hammer is a bees ear over 13" long with a weight of about 454 grams so 16oz and the head is 4 1/4" long.

Will attach photo of full hammer and close up of markings.

Any info or help at all would be awesome.

Thanks in advance
Regards,

Jeremy Lee Hamilton

Probably 'New Britain', a town in Connecticut, where Stanley was based for many years.

I definitely see New Britain there.

Best I can offer is start here, and start looking at pictures, then weight and other size measurements.

I like to start around 1930, and skip forward and back in 5-10 year increments to see if I can find very generic items like that. It may not have changed for 40 years in their illustrations.

I'm wondering if that's a Sweetheart logo, see the bottom of the page here. Maybe hammers got different marks than planes.

I wonder if of British manufacture? Perhaps they had some different nomenclature.
