Looks like the 5 cent grey Small Queen is Scott 42, which was an Ottawa printing between 1888 and 1897.

I'm not sure what the 1 represents. Ottawa wasn't allocated 1 in the numeral series for the earlier 4-ring and 2-ring cancels.

However, the hammer was made of metal, so was probably durable enough to be still in use in 1898; I don't think it is a forgery.
