OB
That is a wonderful collection and a very wide range. How are they stored? My hammers reside in an improvised slot in the noggins of the shed. very crude and not entirely satisfactory but at least they are to hand and quite easy to locate.

Yep - we had a CHerman bootmker in the small country town I grew up in and I distinctly recall him welding that style of hammer on Dad's boots. If it was a simple job he would fix footwear while you waited. I remember his glue stained leather apron, his generous moustache with a few nails poking pout he'd between his lips. and the hammer being waved around while dispensing loads of free advice and opinion on current affairs and the low quality of Aussie footwear.

my dad had a last and one of those hammers .. i don't know where (or why) he got them but it would have been between the depression and the second world war ... i never remember him using them at all and i left them behind one time when i moved and didn't really have enough room to take everything ... i always associated the two together although i don't recall ever being told that which is why i wasn't certain that was what it was

From a personal perspective I don’t think you can have Too Many hammers with in “Reason” of course.
I may be slightly biased here due too other interests tho.
Cheers Matt.
