There's no "just" in that work. It's amazing! I can't braid three pieces of paracord to save my life. Nice work, that's a true talent.

How old do you think we are ?

Well, do you really want an answer to that?

Ok, it is an old jack. I was hoping for a more specific answer.

Spoiler: Hint

These were made from October 1927-March 1932

Wire grip/stretcher. Often used to stretch fence wire.

EGR

I Cleaned out the shed and found this "hammer"

It Seems rather specific for the profile

So Before I invest in a new handle... What is this thing ?

 

[psykown]

Is it a larger chipping hammer?

 

[Expat47]

I searched on "antique geologist's hammer" and found some pix that got close to what you've got there.

 

[EGR]

Looks to me the face is peened over as though struck rather than from striking.

Smith’s or farrier’s punch. Handle makes it quick and safe to position. Dark stain could be from momentary contact with very hot metal?

 

[MVI]

Only Sensible thing to do refresh it a bit !
