Description

Patented by George Mills and Jackson Hanscom of Boston in 1862;  US Patent #35885 dated July 15, 1862.    Apparently manufactured by the Connecticut Arms Company between 1863 and 1869.  Little is known about this company.

The nail-holding device consists of a v-shaped track cast into the head, and designed to hold the head of a nail while it is started.   This example has some small chips around the edges of the striking face, and a couple more on the claws.  The handle appears original.
