I know we see a lot T-C dead blows on this forum.
But does anyone have a Cook Hammer Co. hammer?

From their about us, Lawrence H. Cook started making his own hammers in 1937, but does not say when the company was founded. In August 2017, ownership changed hands to Lapeer Mfg. Co. of Michigan, and the factory relocated there from Warwick, RI.
It looks like Cook is another hammer specialist in areas of nonsparking/nonmarking metal alloys as well as dead blows and dead blow ball peens. They offer metal hammers made of brass, zinc-aluminum, lead, babbitt, bronze, and copper.
Here is my contribution, a no. 803 copper 1.5 lb. It has a nice thick hickory handle with yellow paint on the handle. I purchased this hammer from an MSC sale flyer about 10 years ago for $15.
Anyone else have any?
