Title: Hammer logo
Post by: johnsironsanctuary on May 17, 2013, 07:51:08 PM

I got a nice 8 0z ball peen at a garage sale the other day. The logo on it is marked up with ID from PO.  It did not photo well.  So I sketched it. It looks familiar, but not on AA's list.  Anybody recognize it?

This is the logo Fairmont was using end of the 30's  (on the auto bodywork book...)

There seems to be some variation...

That looks like it Rusty, thanks!  My sketch was based on a really beat up example.
