A rather large ?warington style hammer imaged here
https://www.flickr.com/photos/183694571@N.../52078829634/in/dateposted-public/

At 8" overall length,its way biggger than any warrington hammer I'm familiar
with, but the paneend does have a taper.

But  could it be a bodyman's hammer??

Wadda ya think?

Eric,

That's an auto body hammer.  Mine came in a tote tray with a bunch of "dolly"
backup blocks, so the ID is pretty definite.

Spots of body putty or paint would clinch it...

Hi Eric---  I'm betting it's more of a tinker's hammer than a body-man's hammer,
and of a design that pre-dates cars. I have a couple similar from my
grandfather's box that were well-worn when he died in the late 1950s. Good
hammer, though; when you need it, not much else will do.

Yup..that looks a lot like the business end of a Fairmount body hammer that
I have tucked away with some lead working stuff.
