Most hammers have a steel head, some however have a brass or copper head, some even have polyurethane or rubber heads. They all have specialist uses. Shafts are traditionally made of hickory or other hardwoods, however we now also have plastic and fibreglass handles.

Lead brick
No, for the reason that the metal from which it is made is not found in that form in nature. A hammer is made from steel. Steel is a man-made metal composed mostly of iron with added carbon to improve the properties of the iron.
A steel head and a handle
A nail made of simple pure iron (cast) would quite possibly shatter when hit with a hammer. That is why nails are made of steel and other "flexible" and softer metals.
A sledge hammer is a heavy steel head fitted onto a long handle.
Lead is a compound element that is made up of elements in the carbon group. It has the element maker of Pb. Lead at may contain trace elements of iron but it is not a major component.
