Vintage Hammers

[MShaw]

It seems there should be a thread on this but a search did not reveal one.

So, in the picture the red ball peen is a Champion DeArment, the small ball peen is a billings, the cross peen is a Stanley, the body hammer is Proto from 1960 and the soft face hammer is 1962 Snap on

And two larger hammers. The 2 lb. cross peen was given to me 2nd hand in 1958 and the 4 lb sledge is another Champion DeArment from 1962. The 2 lb has no maker's marks on it.

I have a small Pexto claw hammer i got at a yard sale. More nicely finished than any modern hammer ive seen.

Most all of these are Blue Point. No two are the same.

I'm humbled also. Great collection Snapmom.

Is the one with the green handle a proto like mine?

My "go to" hammer on my bench. A perfect handle Smith & Co. with a 1908 patent date.

The Stanley cross pein looks like a tinners hammer to me???

Snapmom, you have the most amazing collection of Snap-on and Bluepoint tools. If you haven't already, can you start a thread to showcase your collection? I have seen only small bits and pieces of your collection, but when you post - wow!

Diresta just recently posted a great video of all his hammers.

"The Stanley cross pein looks like a tinners hammer to me???"

It probably is. I have heard them called tack hammers and other things. I just tried to come up with an adequately descriptive name not knowing the original intent. I inherited the hammer from my father in law.

It's basically a sheet metal workers hammer (tin knocker). We use it to assemble and hang sheet metal ductwork.

My prize hammer:a Keen Kutter small ball pein that belonged to my grandfather who was born in 1876 and passed in 1965.Still works great.
A couple of unusual ones:
A German made multi-tool with screwdrivers inside the handle.
A tiny folding multi-tool that has a small hammer in it.
A hammer/hatchet/pliers/screwdriver and just about anything else made in Germany.

I have one that was made by the company that Plomb bought out to get into the hammer business. I forget the name right now, I'll take a look later.

Can anyone identify the maker of this vintage, small ball-peen hammer? The The first photo has a 6 inch ruler for scale. The handle looks to be oak. The head has a design, the only part that I can make out is "H".
