Ward Master Hammer?

If this had a logo its long gone but the # on the handle looks familiar. Where these made by anyone else?

Nice hammer.  Wouldn't mind having that cord reel either.

The hammer was probably made by the Bridgeport Hardware Manufacturing Co.
They also made a hatchet using this same style.  Nice find!!

Yeah probably Bridgeport.
 But could have been Barr Bros. of Solingen Germany.
Identical products, more or less.
