I can't tell you much from the picture, but I can share a bit of info from Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings . "Hammer Brand" was used by New York Knife Company from 1878-1932. After they went out of business, the Imperial Knife Company picked up the name and used it on their shell handled knives from about 1936 on.

What is the handle material of your knife? It does not look from here to be the shell type handle.
