Arm and hammer

It has been used as a symbol by many different kinds of organizations, including banks, local government, and socialist political parties.

The similarity to the name of the industrialist Armand Hammer is not a coincidence: he was named after the symbol, as his father Julius Hammer was a supporter of socialist causes, including the Socialist Labor Party of America, with its arm-and-hammer logo.

[3] An arm-and-hammer sign can be seen in Manette Street, Soho, symbolizing the trade of gold-beating carried on there in the nineteenth century.

It was completed in 1029 by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukidze, although the site itself dates back to the early fourth century.
