Dougy Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I would guess peening hammers. Used in metal work. Straight and cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.w. Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) The hammer on the bottom right is called a cats head, it a farrier shoe making hammer. The raised centre part of the hammer is for drawing the clips that are on shoes. Edited April 13, 2017 by E.w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Farrier. But they could just have been used by a sheet metal worker. The smaller one might have been used to put a crease line in sheet. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cat%27s+head+hammers&client=tablet-android-pega&prmd=sivn&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&fir=I3w8nSINoeidBM%253A%252C6KY3fHdpFUG88M%252C_%253BIvW-v7-SKh8IxM%253A%252C-DTfUjqcwI_cdM%252C_%253BRIY9_O6P0nZEgM%253A%252CksmelXnzgc31YM%252C_%253BydryHgoZiv66IM%253A%252C75pNJkIDKjLLjM%252C_%253BAmgEWnu-isn2RM%253A%252CdO4XiSVfXZQarM%252C_%253BGymAsU8jV-2CVM%253A%252Cvggav1z7M6TK6M%252C_%253BNI-FKjqZ03pZRM%253A%252C2N2tfkhmbY5RSM%252C_%253BgsDCm-qnjJAnbM%253A%252CjXMGD-B8DqFkoM%252C_%253BnzRRAYZG3CiVWM%253A%252CiXWnzFidpY_SqM%252C_%253BUzbuM0OvmWNmyM%253A%252CksmelXnzgc31YM%252C_&usg=__6-UFvB3ze2nvmfb6iXJLmPqZYsc%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjVr_6NjKLTAhXpA8AKHWPhCJIQ7AkIHg&biw=960&bih=600#imgrc=I3w8nSINoeidBM: Edited April 13, 2017 by fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
