Antique saws, hammers etc. identification

Hi all, I'm starting to try to identify a few old tools I picked up this past summer in Northern Maine. I've included a couple pictures if you have knowledge on hammers or planes, or advice on where I might find some.

Hammer is "S.S. & Sons EV. MS."

Plane irons are "John Cuther Pioneer" and "A D Greene Warwick RI".

Hoping to sell a few wooden Stanley levels and partially identified Disston saws and marking gauges, but these are just for curiosity.

Can't help, but it always brings a tear to my eye that someone beat the end of a plane iron with a hammer enough to mushroom the steel. They should have all fine tools taken away from them!
