Weird Hammer-UPDATE!

[mojjax]

It's 8'' long . There are some bits stored in the handle . The word PATENTED is on the nose . The drill bits are broken - they go in the end hole - on the hammer head . Anyone ever seen one of these ? Any info will be greatly appreciated !

Re: Weird Hammer

Im guessing its a horse tacking tool, drills for drilling out the hole for the nails in the hoof to hold horse shoes, hammer for the shoe nails, other end of hammer for pulling shoe nails to pull old shoe nails

No drills needed to nail on horseshoes. Just the hammer.

Re: Weird Hammer

I started cleaning the hammerhead and I found words under the black stuff - ''Made In Germany'' . I have not received any response from the roseantiquetools.com people yet . Seems like it has nickle or chrome plating finish , a magnet sticks to every part the tool .

I would think the manufacturers name would be on it somewhere.

Re: Weird Hammer

I don't think that's just "black stuff" on the hammer. I think that may be some of the original finish left. I wouldn't remove it!

It might be original but it looks like someone just painted it black. I dont think the manufacturer would nickel plate it and paint over. Dont scratch it, use paint remover. (if you decide its not original).

Re: Weird Hammer

I got this E-mail today from Diggumup's link ! I will try to send them some pictures this weekend -


Hello Mojjax ,

We are getting ready to do our next round of reader-submitted Mystery Tools and would like to include yours. If it’s possible, could you e-mail me a high-resolution image of the tool? This would ensure a high quality printing in the magazine. Please let me know as soon as you can.

Thanks,

Matthew

Re: Weird Hammer

a hammerdrill

LOL, good answer, it does appear to be some type of early multi-tool.

 

[Teeenbean]

Maybe a miners tool the drill bits go in top, the handle obviously tuns the bit some sort of trade that required lots of hammering and drilling.See any lettering on it anywhere?

 

[FCCDFEd]

Awesome find, good luck with the publication.
