Just a hammer

[john k]

Hammers find me.  This tiny thing begged me to take it home.  Somewhere I saw  a similar tool,  jewelers hammer, maybe.  handle shows less wear than the work faces.  Head  about 5/8 in. Diameter , both sides.  Be glad for someone to give a pos. ID.

Mmmm interesting little bugger isn`t it.

cute little bugger. is the other side flat or ball pein shape like the side we can see?

[J.A.F.E.]

I believe it is a doming hammer. Nice little hammer I would have found a place in the sheet metal tools drawer for it but likely it was for finer work.

1 flat surface, 1 ball peen shape but shallow.

Possibly a planishing hammer for silver or very thin sheet metal.  Same purpose as body hammers, but lighter duty

Either that long handle is purpose-built for the hammer, or I better check the baluster count on the stairs of my old house.
