I don't believe it's a hammer, but rather a combination fuller and flatter. You use the protrusion on the side as the fuller, and the "hammer" face as the flatter. It's a blacksmithing tool used to shape hot steel. You don't hammer with it, you hold it to the hot workpiece by the handle in one hand, and hammer on it with a sledge in the other.

Yeah, it's probably a specialty use for something obscure like adding fluting to the inside of a boiler...while it's running.

thanks for the help would post on facebook if i had facebook lol, after some early morning googling found what it most likely is finding this lead me to this this lead me to this so it appears to be a "farriers rounding hammer" some sort of swiss army tool for making horse shoes so you dont need to swap tools, our best guess was something like a specialist sheet metal hammer, weird thing is cant find a modern version anywhere, closest thing was this www.amazon.com/Hawk-Multi-Head-Hammer-Different-Shapes/dp/B01IM99N1C

I've made everything from Spanish crossbow bolt heads to cutlasses, but somehow neglected horseshoeing. There's something about getting kicked that never attracted me.

Getting kicked, while in the rain on a 38-degree (F) day, 2700 feet up the hillside and 6 miles from the nearest warm pub. Farriers and veterinarians are hard-core.

sounds like "histamonic" is a cross between "histamine" and "demonic"
