It doesn't get much bigger than this -- a sculpture outside the Hammer Museum in Alaska.

Branson is that Paul Bunyon or maybe Storm-A-Long's hammer?

Good thing it's not a sledge....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I think it belonged to Bunyon's bigger brother...

The Hammer Museum has a nice little site, and the people there are willing to answer questions about odd hammers.  There's a collection of old photos of handle making factories that are worth the visit.

After using that hammer all day, you may want a cold one....
