Caught this on Etsy, looks like a Perfect Handle hammer  ?
Interesting hammer but you better really want it. Pricey little offering , and watch the shipping...

Mine isn't marked.
It might have been once, but if it ever was it was gone when I met it.
Kind of 1/2 perfect.  Bolivian rosewood on this one.

I won't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure H D Smith didn't make a hammer with that configuration. Might be a "Perfect Handle" TYPE.

Bob, I have yet to sell on Etsy, but do plan to.  It is a sell at listed price, plus shipping website, that limits sales to Handmade, Vintage items and Supplies. Interesting place.
