Stanley Bell System Lineman Hammer Restoration

I've had this old hammer sitting on a shelf for quite a while. I thought it was just an ordinary old 3lb straight peen hammer until I saw it said "Bell System" on the side, so I started searching to find out where it had come from. It seems that this is an old lineman's hammer from the days of the Bell System Company. Bell system held a monopoly on telephone and communication in the USA for over a century and it seems that many companies made tools for the various Bell System companies. The hammer was made by Stanley. It is always fun to have a little piece of history cleaned up and put back in working order.
