It was labeled as a Sicilian cobbler's hammer in the store... To me its almost a cartoon rendition of a hammer.

I don't know about Sicilian but it's a cobbler's hammer. Bear in mind that these hammers are used to pull and pound leather around forms and to set stitching, not to hammer tacks or nails. Supposedly you can polish the face and it won't stain or abrade leather but I've not found that necessary.

I imagined a cartoon farmer nailing a horse shoe onto a horse with that cartoon hammer.
Why is a farrier not called a horse cobbler?
why, because of the metric system?
