Old leather wrapping on what appears to be original handle--it's a little loose. 14" long. Quite a wonderful collector's item--a lot of stones were knapped with this! Last photo shows page from 1912 Atha catalog.

This is an antique knapping or napping hammer made by the Atha Tool Company, known for producing quality tools in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Likely used for macadam roadwork, stone dressing, or flint shaping by masons and stone workers. Atha Tool was based in Newark, NJ and acquired by Stanley Tool in 1913.
