Hammer Help

What was it designed for? The face is not flat and is domed shape. Picture doesn't show it very good, but it is dome shaped. No makers marks. Maybe an auto body work hammer??

If not an auto body hammer than it's a tin knockers hammer but I'm leaning towards the a/b hammer.

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

A little different pattern but I would go with the ab hammer also.

That idea crossed my mind to. It kind of looks "home made" that maybe someone turned it out on a lathe in their shop. The sharp pointed end has not been hardened it seems from tapping on my steel work bench it will start to flatten the point easy.
