Since GM  and Fisher bodies used wood framing clear into late 1930s, the upholstery guys would have used tacks until then.  I would bet every Fisher body plant had dozens of such hammers.

Yes that is in fact a General Motors Fisher Body Division tack hammer. I have one like it, They show up at garage sales occasionally around these parts ... Detroit Michigan
