i think so...

Oh, heck yes I'd call that art.

there are many hammers in the Gallery that would fall into the Art category

Nathan Robertson's Diamonds in the Rough is, indeed, art.

That's pretty Andy.

Nathan wouldnt be happy with a picture of his hammers and calling them art.
Nathan says Homey dont do art
Bad Roger in Minnesota

nett, who made those? half of them look like they should be sent to the scrap pile.

How do you separate the art from the utility?
I can look at well made tongs, or anvil, or hammer, for that matter, and say "That's beautiful".

But I'm also thinking..........Gee! I could move some metal with that!

check out Elmer Roush's website,it shows a couple of hammers with carved faces in them that are available for sale.

There is a local iron shop with a 50# Little Giant as lawn art/advertising. And no, it isn't for sale :-)

instead of art deco it could be art whammo
