There are not a lot of examples to go from. If the hammer is cast, as is most likely, it could be have been made at almost any time. The cane is more interesting as these were pulled from molten glass and made as ceremonial or presentation piece. I would suggest that you might contact the Victoria and Albert Museum in England http://www.vam.ac.uk/ as they are strong on design and I read a book based of their stuff
