Thanks Creskol.. I didn't know what it was until today... Can't believe the age

I just checked my collection of 25 of these & I don't have your type, so a fairly rare one I think. BIG CONGRATS.

See my first one ever found & still my favourite:

Great Find!!!

At first I was unsure about the possible age of your find being from the 16th century, because I didn't think and not being sure of the history on the "Claw Hammer" being that old (the design of your find appears to be of a claw hammer), until I did a little research and found this 16th century artwork that has a claw hammer depicted in it (far left, center) so kudos to Crusader for the ID!!
