Markt Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi: I'm new here, but I was wondering if anyone had any information on the "new" Kerrihard hammer (model C30, introduced around 1920 or so). I've seen a fair amount online about the older models , but hardly anything about the newer ones, other than they ran about 400 bpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markt Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 FYI, here's a link that shows both the old and new Kerrihards. I believe it's a 30#. the mechanisms are quite different between the two. The old ones seem to have good reputations for small hammers, but I just can't seem to find any info on the new ones. I just bought one, but I don't know much about it. Any info would be appreciated. http://www.littlegianthammer.com/kerrihard.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is the ram round? If so I think it's 75#. pretty good hammers. made 1930 into the late 40's early 50's. sold new for $115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markt Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 The ram is round, but I don't think it's 75#. I found an old advertisement that shows a hammer with a round ram that says it was a 30. I was working on removing the ram tonight and it doesn't weigh 75#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
