Berylco Inspector Hammer
« on: October 09, 2024, 07:33:43 PM »
One of the few items I brought home from a local estate sale is this uncommon Berylco H45 Inspector's hammer. The last photo shows the faint Berylco imprint on the original handle.  I rarely see Berylco tools.  Considering I live in Houston and Houston's oil industry history, I am a little surprised I haven't seen more.

A little help here please.  What would the inspector be inspecting ? and how does the hammer come into play?

Great questions.  I don't know.  Since it is non sparking. One guess is for mining?

This is a long shot,  but I have heard that boiler inspectors would tap each rivet on old style riveted boilers, listening for the telltale hollow sound of a loose rivet.

Gas line work and surprisingly valuable.

I sold a Berylco non-sparking hammer on Ebay to someone down your neck of the woods a while ago
