PaperPatched Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I found this a couple of weeks ago at a local flea market for a few dollars. There are no identifying marks. Does anyone know its original use. And any suggestions for smithing use as is or modified? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 looks kinda like a railroad spike hammer with a short handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwolfforgeca Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I am thinking a body hammer would make a nice small rounding hammer for dish work maybe ? take the edges off round the face its not a punch though ? is it tapered one end or both ?

PaperPatched Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 The hammer is 1-1/2 inches across the large face, and 1 inch across the smaller face. And 8-1/4 inches face-to-face. Handle length is 10-3/8 inches long. The weight is about 4-1/2 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
