It weights 10 pound I guess. The peen has a 10mm diameter, I might sand it down, but not before I have to. I will put it to a good use, thats for sure

lot of "vintage" warren teed hammers at ebay, some information about the company: Registration Date 1953-12-08 EXPIRED 1994-09-12 Heavy hand tools, railroad construction tools. But no information about oversea trades or how it got in the barn where it hasn't been touched since I guess at least 30 years. Is the 85-8 a specific steel? Im not used to U.S steel standards

I live in germany where most sledgehammers look like the rear one, with or without peen. The one in the front with the octagonal face is a barn-finding The stamp reads "warren-teed 85-8" Bavaria was under U.S. control after WWII so my best bet would be its a leftover from the army, have they ever been military issue?

Hi there, my first post- Because sites like this gave me a decision guidance I thought I should share what I got. I have a image album done already, thats why I don't re-upload it here. My 1899 S&H: http://imgur.com/a/Q9WOm#0 I know grinding is no-go, but the rust penetration was too deep to ignore it. It was no easy decision and I kept it to a minimum. Wire wheel/brush and WD-40, angle grinder and belt sander on the working surfaces.
