TonyS Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I found these large power hammer tooling in an old farm shed. I was wondering if any knows what sort of hammer they would be for so I can try and find a home for them. The key on the bottom is 2.5 inches wide and 10 long. There is 1 male and female set and 1 bottom tool for a plough head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hey tony where are you located, Knowing where you are and where you found these tools can give us some sort fo idea as to what they were for. So far they just look like run of the mill keyed in die blocks for some sort of job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm in Australia, the family I got them from was on old buggy builder. No idea what the angled one was for. The dug out one is for a plough head made for the farmers in the district. I was told they are over 80 years old. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I often use smithing stuff over 200 years old; "old" has a different value for stuff that "wears like iron!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
