WOW! Thanks much for the info!

Is there a website that shows this hammer?

You're welcome, Badger. I first found it in Eric Sloane's "A Museum of Early American Tools". I knew I had that book around here somewhere, I just had to dig it out. I have a couple of his books. I then went on the web, and there is a picture of a snow knocker at
http://www.davistownmuseum.org/pics/tcm1005.jpg

Sometimes they used any heavy tool which could be sharpened to a point at one end to pick the ice away. Someone has a snow knocker made from an old file on their website, but I guess the traditional kind was a hammer like you found.
