November 25, 20214 yr Popular Post recently found these at the restore and spent my 2.50 for the week. The mallet has a leather head, the small hammer has 3 small screwdrivers in the handle, and the hole punch is 3/4"
November 25, 20214 yr Popular Post Looks good to me. I might have that hammer...well...most of it...you MIGHT find an even small hammer inside...
November 25, 20214 yr Popular Post All three are really cool Pete. I would have snagged them for $2.50 too rather I needed them or not (and I don't but so cool). Based on the size and the way the handle is painted, the leather mallet looks like one I had as a part of my old Handy Andy tool set back in the mid 1950's. A rare find in that condition that you have. The hole punch is either for leather or possible gaskets.
November 25, 20214 yr Popular Post Great finds, I have a claw hammer like that that I found at the Restore also and I found the ball peen too but the handle was missing so I made one and put a Phiillips on it. They come in handy for small objects at the work table. Edited November 25, 20214 yr by HandyDan
November 25, 20214 yr Popular Post I have the same hammer as the top one of Dan's. I purchased it from a school in the 1980's. Very convenient for small things. Dan you did a great job on making a replacement handle. The hole punch is just like the one we used in Graphic Arts from 1972 to 1995. We made inspection stickers on a sheet and then would sit and punch them out. We had a steel round blank much like a bowl blank and it was covered on one side with a rubberized cover which had to be replaced every few years. So, if you had light duty or bad back, you got to be the one to punch out decals.
