Title: 3-in-1 tool, DASCO 399
Post by: oldtools on October 01, 2012, 06:10:37 PM

~8.5" long, small 5/8"dia. hammer, 9/16" wide chisel tip, 1" spike pry.
well made, heavyduty, versatile tool. (my Dad used it for Termite inspections in the 60's)
but I don't know if it was made for that. also not sure what the flat in the handle was for.

Some folks call it a crate hammer.  Remember wooden crates?

This may be a "fencing" tool.  The spike was used to remove the staples.  Not sure what the flat end would be used for.

I looked through Baird & Comford's Hammer Book and couldn't find anything identical to it.
