Have You Ever Seen This Before? I can not find any information on this anywhere. I'm guessing it is a blacksmith hammer.

I would guess that it’s an upholstery tool.
It doesn’t “strike me” as being durable enough for blacksmithing. :^)
I believe that these were made as crate or box openers…back when wooden shipping crates had lids that were nailed in place (that needed to be pried open)
