Looks like a hammer for texturing stone. Something used by a mason.

What kind of finish is obtained with this hammer?  My son works sometimes in stone.  Maybe its something he could use.
Thanks

It will be similar to the edges of a granite tombstone.  A skill level is involved to get consistant results.

as noted above: "Bushing Hammer" - they came in various styles. some look like meat tenderizing hammers. some are odd-looking affairs with multiple "blades" which are replaceable.
