Baby!

A Hubbard! Top notch sledge. It doesn't perhaps have an 'H' in a shield on the other side, does it?

In any case what a great thing to find one so fresh. It must have been blessed with a crappy handle and set aside soon after birth.

Thank you guys! This one i have to agree...the handle broke soon after purchase, or put aside after the one weekend of breaking up an old patio..?
Either way...no steel was lost over the years on this one.

Damn beautiful example I do agree

Dang Miller, that is some nice grain! I like the cross wedge! Looks sweet! And may I add, what a nice clean work area you have? And of course I'm going to mention the Woden. I may be obsessed with that blue. I'll seek professional help.

Thank you, i am really loving the grain on this one too. The Woden is so smoooooth Stay tuned...my poor work bench...i have a project of size on there now...starting today hopefully...the cheney vise and anvil clean up. There is greese, grime, gooey and caked on in layers on this thing

Nothing says do work like a 6 Lbs. Head on a 15" handle. What a beast! Love the cross wedge! Beautiful hammer sir!

Living in an old quarry town, these seem to be popping up here and there. Mash hammers for masonry and quarrying stone.

12 lb Quikwerk.
14lb Atha.
16-20 lb unknown.

The first two were saved from the scrapyard. The biggest I found metal detecting my back yard.

Spray paint for scale.

You do such a great job on the peen and hammer face. Perfectly dressed.

Thanks. A 2x72 grinder with multiple grits and a polishing belt make me look good.

I haven't used my 12 pounder in a long time, and suits me just fine. When I found him hiding in the garage, he was a bit rusty. But worst of all, my little hammer was badly rusted. I put the little guy in some vinegar for a few hours, than hit it with Scotch Bright.

Can anyone tell me who made this 4# hammer?

Old Plumber · Jun 3, 2020

I think it looks better like this.

That's a Woodings Verona stamp if no one has answered yet.

And it looks a bit older too, later stuff was not as clear.

Thanks guys, I googled Woodings Verona, and saw some with the same stamping. I don't know how to find this one. I looked at hammers on ebay but couldn't find any markings like these.
