A strange hammer

Not 100 % , but I'll say roofing hammer on the " strange " one .

My guess is that one on the left and maybe all are coopering tool used for making wooden barrels. They have ALL sorts of weird tools.

Ill buy the barrel tools or possibly tools for making or maintaining wagon wheels. The one on the left i looked up, it came up a few times as a pin hammer of a Wheelwright.

Pretty cool, are you gonna try and restore them?

I'm looking at the small neck , and looks like it has the hole for a depth pin .

I don’t know if restore is the proper term, but I will definitely clean them up and display them. They’re more family heirlooms. My house is turning into a museum.

And for anyone who remembers my old wood cook stove post I was gonna grab that this weekend, but it was in really poor shape. It had a lot of cracks you couldn’t see in the pictures and I knew it wasn’t usable without a lot of work.

I'VE HAD A HAND AX MADE BY PLUMB LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THAT, HAD IT FOR WELL OVER FIFTY YEARS NOW. USED IT A LOT ON THE REMO OF A OLD CHOCOLATE FACTORY TO CHOP OUT THE BOTTOMS OF OLD HERRINGBONE BLOCKING THAT PROTRUDED BELOW THE BOTTOM OF FLOOR JOISTS. BLADE FILES SHARP ON JUST ONE SIDE. USED IT FOR SPLITS ON MY OFFSET, BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. RAY

I love old tools and have picked up a few here and there over the years. I use some and have misplaced all the others over the years. Maybe if my wife does a yard sale one of these days I'll find the misplaced ones. Only problem if that happens is she will charge me way to much to get them back.

I think thats awesome, I got hooked on old lanterns, naphtha, or kerosene. Thats my little collector niche.

Show them off when you get them displayed
