Sledge Hammers!

[Square_peg]

The handle looks like it was made for a slick or cedar spud. But your eye is round (strangely) so maybe they were meant for each other.

Soft wood? Seriously, that's a gem.

Thanks for pulling that up Bob! Here are a couple more shots.

No chips or anything, it’s in nice shape.

But this saw hammer is so cool!
It looks like it must be the original handle. There is a 1 1/2 stamp on the bottom.

That is a hammer meant for an experienced hand precision work for sure.

It look worn thin from wear. It probably spent 1000's of hours in somebody's hand.

Nothing super special. Just a 6lb South African sledge on an 18.5" cut off sledge handle. Good tool.

T.K. took care of that hammer.
Absolutely a great tool with a great etch and lineage.
Any stories about TK accompany that handsome fella?

I thought about it but a wiser man recommended that I don’t ask about the “TK” as a good previous owner story might cost more

Great advice.

Some nice looking fellas I picked up a couple weeks back...

Upon carefully inspecting this cool saw hammer I realized it has, although scarcely visible, the same Simonds etching as Agent_H dog head hammer.

The head was on upside down so I rehung it and fed her some BLO.
I was going to put a round wedge into it but decided to hold off for fear it would split the handle. Besides, it’s not like I’m going to start hitting things with it.

The handle has well defined contouring from use and both faces are in real nice shape.

Thanks for appreciating such things.

That is a beautiful hammer, ITVD.

Those are special and unusual hammers.

The three marked with P6 and P7 seem to be registered to Prairie Wood Products, Prairie City, Or.

The guy who sold them to me said they were from the Warm Spring Reservation. The reservation is relatively nearby and I envision that one of a few different possibilities...

Prairie Wood Products saw mill recently shut down – temporarily according to this article.

The P6-7 stamps are still active as far as I can tell…

The other has the same “ROC” (Curved underline) but is marked “WF”.

Shaped so he grabbed it at the same location each time, no look.

It's good to see someone here take an interest in them brands.

I agree with G garry3 , these markers and stamps and hammer or axes they used for them, what a great tool to collect, save and share. I hope you can rescue more.

I doubt I will come across any here in the wild...but to quote Sean Connery..."Never Say Never"

Here are a few I rehung this week
