divermike Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 As I have been unpacking from the move, I have been making those discoveries, some pleasant and some not so, but this most recent one stumped me, it looks like a power hammer die, don't know how I got it or where it came from, anybody recognize what type it is, what hammer it might go to???

petere76 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Mike, Looks like a combo draw/flat die like you would make for a round anvil hammer like the Spencer tire hammers. Would obviously have to match up to that bolt pattern. Hit it with a file and see if it's hardened. Most of the Spencer hammers have two bolt holes but anyone could make a 4 bolt pattern easy enough. Have you have a good holiday and Merry Christmas. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Greetings Mike, Looks like a made up lower die welded to a 6 in pipe flange... Could have been used on a stump or treadle hammer.??????? Take a file to it and see if it is hardened.. Forge on and find some more cool stuff Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Looks like Peter and I were posting at the same time.... Well now you have two same opinions... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Dave Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't know what specific hammer it was made for but it looks like a home made die from the placement of one of the bolt holes. It is so close to the edge that it has a little opening. It looks like a drawing die but I can't tell if it has flat spot as in a combo die. Hope you find the other half.

HJP Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Been looking all over the place ,i was wondering where it got to......... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOblacksmith0530 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Spare tire hammer or treadle hammers both use dies like that. My spare tire hammer has a square plate the die is welded to with 4 holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
