Vanished Makes: Henry Cheney

This is a lovely old ball pein hammer I picked up in my travels.  Usually hammers don't carry manufacturer's markings, so I was surprised to find a stamping on the hammer head.  I couldn't quite make out the name, but the rest said, "Tool steel, Guaranteed, Little Falls N.Y. USA. A quick google search found only one hammer manufacturer out of Little Falls, New York:  Henry Cheney.  Information on this company is scarce.  The Davistown Museum site has an entry on Henry Cheney but their information is inconsistent with other web sources.  He seems to have been born in Oswego in 1821, and may have made hammers before moving to Little Falls at some point between 1845 and 1855 or so.  Some sources say he bought the S.H. Farnham factory, others the Ingham Mill.  In any event, hammers were the company's primary product, although axes were also apparently manufactured at one point.  Curiously, most if its product was for the overseas market, including Australia.  The firm is reported to have been sold in 1954, when production apparently ended.
