My "new" mallet

I have a friend that is retiring, and moving from the house that has been in his family since his grandfather built it almost 100 years ago. He and his wife have been cleaning out areas that have not been checked out in many years, and came across this mallet. They know nothing of its history, but decided that I would give it a good home.

I'm really not sure how to break it in! I would love to know of it's history. It really looks like someone used it to pound on cold chisels. This same friend has given me several of his father's tools; but this one has to be from his mother's side of the family. The date would indicate that it is older than the house.
