Considering the webpage on company history, I suspect this company is the same as current russian Northern Shipping Company. If so, they changed the flag, as usual, but it is still to be known the house flag of this company in pre-soviet times.

Jarig Bakker, 21 Feb 2005

The shape of the hammer is interesting — it seems to be a claw hammer (or maybe a cross-pein Warrington hammer) rather than the usual Soviet sledgehammer.
