marcusb Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Was hoping someone on here could ID a hammer I have. I found it in a junk store for almost nothing, fit a handle to it and it has become my go to hammer. I find it ideal for everything I do. Looks like an elongated ball peen to be honest. Head has gentle taper all the way to the head, peen is wide and almost flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have several with the elongated head on the flat face side---and yes one came with the original tag: Hammer, Boilermaker's 1 ea, also it was stamped with the broad arrow and dated to WW2. (Funny to run into a wooden crate of them at a a construction supply store in Central Ohio. Used to buy a couple every year and sell them on at Quad-State.)

ThomasPowers Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well I have another on that was also labeled a boilermaker's hammer that was a sledge with domed ends of differing radii used to swage the fire tubes I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk18 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This is a photo of some of my Grandfathers boilermakers hammers and his traveler This is a hammer I picked up last weekend. Could it also be a boilermakers hammer? It weighs 2.25 pounds. The head is 3/4" longer than other ball pein hammers I have p Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
