Antique specialty hammer with narrow head and two faces: one rectangular and one roughly square.  I found this without any original branding or logos; however, each side of the steel head has hand-stamped markings displaying "1889" along with the spaced apart letters C and P.  

Wood handle has been stripped of paint and extensively sanded. It now features a laser-engraved assembly of butterflies amongst sunflowers and zinnias while a single chrysalis promises the arrival of something new. Opposite this lively scene, the latin phrase "dum spiro spero" is deeply burned into the wood- a mantra, while I breathe, i hope.
