maddog Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have a similar top tool that I got in a bucket of rusty stuff. An oval shaped face with square edges. I thought maybe some kind of set hammer?VINTAGE BLACKSMITH HAMMER VERY OLD UNIQUE TOOL ANVIL - eBay (item 350081320943 end time Jul-27-08 07:50:54 PDT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Set hammers often show signs of impact on the struck side but this tool is pretty clean. Almost looks like a cutler's hammer for working bevels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 I am sure this is a top tool. Mine shows evidence of being struck. Hammers always have two useful working faces. This is not in great condition but its clear the face was intended to have sq edges. Thank you all for your comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
