[VictorVincimus]

This hammer was found in an old field. We cleaned it but it seems like there is another metal underneath. Any help. ID or ideas. Thanks

Btw. There is no slit in the claw.

I've seen a blacksmiths tool similar to this that was used to chip slag and excess weld off of metel being worked on.

Looks pretty crude(in a good way)

Looks like a crude welding tool to me also but I could be way off. Looks pretty cool though. HH

Looks like an very old steel workers hammer the long point is to line up the steel beams to rivet...the head to pivot the beams ...i think

Yeah looks that way. It was in an old cornfield under a big tree. I walked it with a descendant. He repaired his own tractors and stuff so it would fit with the property.

If it were mine i`d clear spray it and mount it on a nice piece of wood with a brass staple and hang that on my wall...i like that hammer very much.

It's different. Never seen one like it. Check out my latest post of the old hoe head I found. House from the 1700
