Congrats! You found the rock hammer that Andy Dufresne used to tunnel out of Shawshank Prison.

My speculation is that is a hand-forged railroad hammer kind of like this one form the Kansas Historical Society.

I suppose it could also be a chipping hammer from a blacksmith's shop.

 

[jeff of pa]

definitely a hammer

Metal chipping hammer... AKA "welders hammer".

A slag hammer, I think. Welders use to knock the crust off of a weld. That looks like a warn out harrow tooth with a forge welded handle that broke.

My guess it is a tool to do quick repairs to their horse's hooves, as in snow and ice would build up. And I think it is heavy enough to drive a shoe nail. Kept in wagon near driver.

That is called a pick. No redriving nails. They are clinched. When you throw a shoe you just start all over
The frog of a horse also pumps blood back up there legs, back there heart. The frog is on underside of a hoof
