I like the Estwing! Naw, I wouldn't clean it up, looks like it has experience.

This thread has a whole lot of my muscles saying......".Why did you not have one of these before"
another tool for the woodpile.

Actually used a type like that for picking dead salmon out of the streams and pitching on shore for counts of spawners that were present./past

Nice job on the restoration....40 years ago, there was a blacksmith in a couple towns over, making them in his shop, I still have mine, common pattern in my area, I have put 3 or 4 handles in it over the years, and it's just a common single bit axe handle, and installed handles in every ax head on the place. Nearly all firewood cutters have a pickaroon, and you can buy a new one in the hardware store anytime. I have a spare as well. That is the tool you might use to level a semiload of shortwood...in the old days.

That has to be the single best use for an estwing hammer I have ever seen. Pains me now that i threw my hammer away when I could have turned it into something useful
