PaperPatched Posted August 30, 2014 I found this a couple of weeks ago at a local flea market for a few dollars. There are no identifying marks. Does anyone know its original use. And any suggestions for smithing use as is or modified? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farmall Posted August 30, 2014 looks kinda like a railroad spike hammer with a short handle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted August 31, 2014 I am thinking a body hammer would make a nice small rounding hammer for dish work maybe ? take the edges off round the face its not a punch though ? is it tapered one end or both ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matto Posted August 31, 2014 It is a railroad spoke hammer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaperPatched Posted August 31, 2014 The hammer is 1-1/2 inches across the large face, and 1 inch across the smaller face. And 8-1/4 inches face-to-face. Handle length is 10-3/8 inches long. The weight is about 4-1/2 pounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
