hammer resto
Hi,
I have been following this blog with interest
as I have many hammers. I have this one thing
that looks like a hammer but with out a handle.
It has a 6mm steel handle which is 180mm long.
I do not know if it is a hammer or not. Any comments
or any ideas.

Looks like the "hammer" medicos use to whack your patella tendon to see if you're alive.....
Only the heads on those are a hard rubber compound, not steel!
Could it be part of the bell-striking mechanism for a large pealing clock?
Cheers,IW

Ian that was my first thought, regarding the Medical one, but it would be good too know what the actual head is made from, kind of looks like stone, but I doubt that, it may an it’s a wild guess be a shaping hammer that a silver smith would use, but then the handle is the wrong type.

Hammer resto
Hi Ian, Matt,
It is made of steel and weighs 815 grams.
Maybe I should ask on the clock forum and see if
there is any more info.

Hi all,
I have been on the clock forum
and someone has said that it is from a
1950s art deco clock which has six different
chimes. If I put a handle on it what could I
use it for? any ideas.
Martin.

Your hammer is reminiscent of the egg-shaped carvers mallets.
Just sayin'. Sometimes they are brass and sometimes timber: Yours might be a little heavy at 815g.

UK manufacturers named their cross pein hammers of the French / German style as an Exeter pattern hammer.
Here is an Exeter pattern from the Marples catalog.
