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!

Hi Andrew,

 

How is the hammer going?

 

I'm wondering if you've managed to find out anymore information? I too myself have just acquired a Waratah Spring Hammer - although mine is badged Harris, Scarfe Limited Machinery Merchants Adelaide.

 

Cheers,

Mark
