    Looking for a posting

    A while back I ran across a link for seconds in dead blow hammers. Made a note of it and thought I’d try to take another look. I don’t know if it was something that was available most of the time or a one time posting till items were sold out. Is that link still around and current? Thanks

    Can anyone help ID this item. Found in a barn they were going to tear down so I picked it up. So far no one has been able to help. Found another at a large flea market but the fellow who owned that one didn't know what it was either. The large section appears tapered maybe a handle fits into???
