O/T I made it through one more Birthday on 5/11/12. I Just turn 83 yr. old. I don t post much on YTmag, but I sure do like to read the good message you good people post. Lots of good info when needed out here in the Country. After I retired I started collecting hammers.

I have them all cleaned up & hanging in my shop.

Photo.

Good luck to you all, Hammer Man from E. Texas [Log in to Reply] [No Email]

Re: One more good Birthday in reply to Hammer House, 05-12-2012 14:03:23 Number 368 looks to be a 16 or 20 oz. Belknap Blue Grass straight claw.

The # 368 is A Belknap Blue Grass straight claw.

I have good many more of the Blue Grass hammers & hatches. They did not make any more after the late 1950. It is A collectible item.

Re: One more good Birthday in reply to Hammer House, 05-12-2012 14:03:23 What a nice collection! Happy birthday and many more. When I saw the pick axe I thought about the days of my youth when I used a pick axe to chop the ice buildup away from the cattle water. I didn't know the proper tecnique at the time and the ice would fly up in my face and mouth with every swing. I spit a lot of dirty ice out of my mouth but I never got sick, and you can imagine what was mixed in with that stuff. Jim [Log in to Reply] [No Email]

Re: One more good Birthday in reply to Hammer House, 05-12-2012 14:03:23 Happy birthday Hammer Man, Hope you have many more. I am also interested in old hammers, and have a few Blue Grass, Plumb, True Temper, and others that I used over the years doing Carpentry. I am sure you have some I have never heard of. Your collection looks great.

Re: One more good Birthday in reply to Hammer House, 05-12-2012 19:23:18 Yes, our farm is in NE Texas between Daingerfield and Mt. Pleasant. If you want to spend an interesting day close to your home, go visit Sam Adams in Tatum. He has a variety of Farmall and JD tractors and all kinds of other vintage equipment.

Re: One more good Birthday in reply to Hammer House, 05-12-2012 14:03:23 Very impressive. Sadly the only one I recognize is the Stanley with yellow graphite handle. I wonder if there's someone out there that collects nails ? You two could really "hit" it off.
