HWHII Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have located a Hawkeye Helve hammer like the one in the attached picture. It is in the process of being restored and I would have to finish it. Can anyone give me a idea what a fare price would be for this hammer? Thanks Haroldhawkeye.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Harold HWHII, I don't know if you can call this a fair price, but I saw one go at an auction a year ago for $2800. The buyer had deep pockets, he flew up in his own airplane.....

monstermetal Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yeah I would say $2500-$3000 would not be unreasonable. I sold one to Eric (DaBlacksmith) that was much rougher for $1750 last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have one identical to that one. It came from a forge in NJ. The smith specialized in corn knives, but did anything that came through the door. It has not been used in over 50 years. I actually bought a few of the marked corn knives at an auction a few years ago. I hope to put it in service some day. I like the compact design. I plan on building a tower above the hammer for the motor, and drop a flat belt down to the pulley. Mine was very inexpensive, but I have seen them sell for 1500-3000.

Sam Thompson Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It looks like the bastard love-child of Blacker and Goliath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
