HAMMERTIME!! :-)

Well a mallet, small brass hammer, and tack hammer respectively (pic 1) but whatever -- all hammers in some way or other, and who can really EVER have enough varieties of hammers anyways...?? <LOL>

The wooden mallet is about 13" long with a roughly 2-1/2" diameter head. Entirely wooden in construction, no maker's marks, and its striking surfaces have only been slightly abused over its lifetime, however long that really is.

The little brass hammer, I suspect, is somebody's 'custom made' sorta thing. Its brass (bronze?) head is about 2-1/2" long and 7/8" across, affixed to a steel shaft and held in what looks mostly like a rather generic old wooden 'file handle' with steel ferrule. The head and handle are riveted to the 1/4" (ish) shaft. It is about 9-1/2" long overall.

The tack hammer is 10-1/2" long and 4" across its head. It is the only one of these three with any sort of marking, what looks to be "PAT. AUG 2860EXT1" stamped on its handle. (pic 3) It is also interesting because the other end of its handle still has a brass ferrule with squarish boring inside (pic 4) as if there might have once been another kind of tool fastened there...??
