Group Photo of Slim Winter Pickings

Here's a group shot of a few recent items and a closer shot of the brass hammer with no markings on it. Cute little devil though and will no doubt hit stuff real good.

Hammer homemade??

The handle is home brew, sure nice to look at.  What is the chrome Tee handle?  A lathe tool maybe?  I don't believe I've seen a Goodwrench adjustable, the jaw on that looks *different*?  Pickins are slim here in the winter also.

I have to think that the hammer is mass produced. It does have a home made / craftish look to it, but I just think that if someone went to the trouble of making the thing, they would have wiped away the excess glue where the handle is attached. It may have been slapped together by hand, but not by someone who cared much about it.

I don't think I have either, but kxxr has a Wright that is obviously from the same manufacturer:

Apparently, some of you were not aware that up here in the northern climate, antique tools hibernate. If you are clever, you can trap some in their basement lairs at indoor estate sales and thrift shops. I do not believe the old axiom 'Let sleeping tools lie'.  Keep warm and keep hunting.
