What is the size/weight?
'Diamond' is probably the Diamond Calk Company. They started making horseshoes and farriers tools but branched out into many other tools including their famous crescent wrenches and pliers.
This is likely a farriers or blacksmiths cold cut tool.
Diamond Calk... became Diamond Tool... in 1963, according to online sources.
Vaughan produced hammers for Diamond Tool, according to this brochure from Vaughan (see photo).
So, perhaps Vaughan made that hammer.

I will have to measure it tomorrow and update. Need to find a scale to weigh it. Thanks for the information. I think this kinda stuff is so fascinating. Finding something as simple as a hammer head. Cleaning it and looking into some history about it.
The larger hammers like this for general or blacksmith use were usually called a cross-peen style.
