Old Stanley Claw Hammer. How Old??

[Swingit]

I picked this up at a garage sale this morning for $5. From A 91 year old woman,
she said it was her late husbands. I tried to look it up but can't find anything. I have seen this style before but never this nice, No Rust! It had very little staining on it. So I took some #0000 steel wool some Mothers metal polish and I think it turned out great!
Any idea on when it was made? Its pretty big!
HH!!

It looks like a Stanley #11 adze eye cast steel nail hammer.

This is all I could find, doesnt say much.

That's an old 20oz straight face claw hammer. I have a rusted one I use daily.
