>Can anyone identify this tool. I found it in an old, 1880, barn. The overall length is 11" and the head is 4.5". Pictures at http://www.nhwoods.com/dvp/dvphammer.htm
I have searched all over and asked dozens of tool nuts but cannot come up with any good info. Anyone???
Thanks, Don

>Tree nailing hammer. You would heat this sucker red hot and drive it into the deck of a ship. Then fill with a tree nail. As the nail hole cooled it shrunk around the nail.

>looks like an old Kitchen tool, use the spike as a Ice Pick and the side and back of the head to tenderise meat or break up the ice more.While I have never seen one just like this I have seen others that were made for these purposes....Is for sure NOT a blacksmith tool.....Todd
