Branson,

>I call that a happy attitude -- having more to learn, I think, keeps one young.  There's always new knowledge to gain.

And there's yet more to be gained by sharing this knowledge -- we learn from each other.

>I wrote to the Tool Exchange folks and tossed the question back to them of what's with the cruciform slot, and why does it only show up on the plain face hammers.  We'll see if they can give us any answers.

Please ask them about the Flag Brand! Any clues would be helpful.

Ietech,

>I really enjoy the history in this thread on Cheney hammers and what was behind it all -- amazing research from the OP I am impressed.

Thanks! I was frustrated when the only descriptions I could find were three or four sentences. The positive feedback I've gotten from this forum has encouraged me to keep digging. Sometimes it's a bit challenging to decide what to leave out and what to keep in. There's lots of fascinating history around the people involved and the times they lived in.

Checked it on line.  Yes, the Victoria was a Ford made in Canada.
