Some sort of spike driving hammer? As in railroad work, though for that it is a few pounds too light for a spike that big? The octagon shaped head would not lend itself to stonework. the head of a mason's hammer is used to shape brick and stone with the edge like a set chisel.
Idea #2: Could the spike be used to move logs around and the hammer be used to make log rafts? Setting log dogs?
Nice hammer. A real head scratcher.
