So who got this little loverly?
Might be a locally made 'Macson' hammer with a (?)Kinyon set up on it. Others may have more informed opinions.

'Waratah' spring hammer by 'Hands & Scott'

Hi All,
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of picking up an ol' spring hammer;

Did some research (digitised old newspapers online) to discover "Hands, Scott" were a blacksmithing/ engineering business in Arncliffe (Sydney, Australia) between at least 1912 and 1920.
I have seen a couple of other 'Waratah' hammers online before, very similar but not exactly the same.

Enjoy the pics, I'll be scouring this forum for spring guard, flywheel brake and die-block improvements; what a great resource it is!
