Quite possible, but that wasn't my first thought.


My first though was a stone masons hammer. The shrinking hammers I have seen
generally have larger faces, and I have never seen one with a pick on one end
(which only  means I have never seen one, not that they don't exist). Stone
hammers I have used have smaller faces like this one, not wider than the body,
and sometimes have a sharp or round pick end.
