I wish I would have taken some before pics as I didn’t expect such great results. I soaked the hammer in vinegar for three weeks changing the vinegar weekly and hitting it with a wire brush. I finished it with a wire wheel and just need a handle 07504015-1B06-4819-AE06-5A8A974ED02A.jpeg 7E3B0CCB-7102-4E98-865E-69621DC51BFB.jpeg

White Cider Vinegar,,
There is a product called, "Renaissance Wax" that will keep it from rusting up again.
Great Job
