Online, there are images of variations in the composition of the stamps used, perhaps that is a way of more accurately dating the hammer? Anyone with information, please contact me.

My farrier was here today, showed him this hammer, he said that ain't no farriers hammer. Heller made all sorts of hammers, all with the horse logo, with this face it looks like a light weight framing hammer, abet very light. Farrier showed me all of his, if they have a waffle face its a light cut crosshatch and as he said a face like this would make it easy to bend horseshoe nails. Also I notice a light spot from the missing sticker on the handle, would not not date it from more modern times?
thought it was some type of stone hammer....
sorry, can't find anything similar to it.
But, this guy probably knows:

Wow, the guys has hammers! Thanks!
I agree that it's a light framing hammer. Might have been used to build boxes, put in laths, etc.
