    PHOTO ENLARGES, LOOK!
    WHY? This seems so absurd. So dangerous, and what did the parents intend to convey with this peculiar message? I bought this because I have never seen anything so bizarre? Was there not a dolly or a teddy available in the photo studio?? The child is cross-eyed and would not see well as it is--and to put that in her tiny hand to flail around?? Gives me chills.

      That's a creepy photo.....
    3. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Baby Lizzie Borden. Hey, it does enlarge ! Maybe a rattle that looks like a hammer ?
    4. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Yes...it enlarges.
    5. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      It shouldn't appear anywhere should it? Where did you do an image search? Gosh! I thought the seller, was selling dups and was going to report him.
    6. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      No, PCC, it is a portrait of the hammer ;-)
      Babies are dangerous.... hammers are cute!
    7. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Blunderbuss2--If you click the photo it will enlarge.
      AND-- That was funny. " Baby Lizzie Borden"--you have a quick mind!!
    8. fleafinder fleafinder, 8 years ago
      maybe her parents want her to be a judge badly
    9. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Can I print something on the card so it can't be reproduced?
    10. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Little Judge--- Judy (fleafinder) or Little Lizzie Borden"(blunderbuss2) ??

      Looks like a cobbler's hammer ... probably the child of a cobbler. Craftsmen were proud of the tools of their trade.
    13. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Just to clear up something that was posted here and may have confused folks I enclosed part of my invoice for all to see that I own this item.It was purchased from a party called old man books
    14. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      A cobbler's hammer--- well that is a good suggestion rniederman-- still, daddy proud or not--I think a teddy would have looked a little more fitting to send back home to great-grandma .Wadda ya say? Thanks for your comment. You may have "HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD".
    15. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Above,Kyra says" Babies are dangerous--Hammers are cute"!! Everybody has a funny retort today!
    16. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      I remember seeing a clear plastic hammer baby rattle with coloured things in it. Maybe that was in a display of prison made weapons ?!!
    17. Recordmantime, 8 years ago
      Lizzie Borden took an ax,
      Gave her mother 40 whacks.
      After she had seen what she had done,
      She gave her father 41....lol hmmmmmmmm
    18. fleafinder fleafinder, 8 years ago
      wow wow wow recordmantime that seems like judy the ripper in the making!

      lmao
    19. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      There you go! This is such an odd photo--I had to have it. and Blunderbuss2--I think I also saw a rattle something like that--so maybe a mom & dad would get it for their boy child. I also recall a huge safety pin with the colered beads.
    20. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Maybe scottvez will drop in and tell us if maybe that is a baby boy?? He really has the smarts when looking at antique photos--the "go to" person for insight.
      The little boys wore dresses back then. If so, then it is still weird choice of prop--but with the edge off a teeny bit.
    21. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 8 years ago
      After looking at this weird photo and reading the comments, I think that I need to go out and get "hammered."
    22. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Meet you at the Yacht Club in 15 !
    23. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 8 years ago
      OK blunder...should be fun. Bring your photos.
    24. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      This has been a lot of fun for me--everybody is funny!
    25. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 8 years ago
      PostCardCollector, Yes. I have enjoyed this post :)
    26. NevadaBlades, 8 years ago
      Watch out, vintagelamp, bb2 likes to pin hands to the bar with his Gerber dagger! [;>)))))
    27. Gillian, 8 years ago
      It's a very small object, and she/he doesn't seem to have any trouble holding on to it. I don't think a child that age would be holding, or be given, an actual hammer which are usually quite heavy to get the maximum benefit!

      On the other hand.......

      No - it may be a teeny child's toy hammer (I don't mean a teeny child) which I don't expect they made then, it looks so perfectly like a hammer - but............that's just not right on so many levels.

    28. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Ah! That is a good point about the weight of a real tool. Teeny little hands.
      Baby is about 6 mos, would you say?---but this child looks small boned and rather fragile, not particularly "happy" either. Not a good candidate for a hammer! I am fairly certain that it is a girl, (little petticoat garment under "dress".)
      This discussion with all the humor, and straight on informative options has really been one of my most playfully entertaining posts. Thanks peeps!
      NOW, I gotta go find more like this!!
    29. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Ah, give em a rattle that looks like a gun !! Just so it doesn't say "MADE IN CHINA" !! That would be more American !
    30. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 8 years ago
      NevadaBlades, Yes, his reputation is well known.
    31. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      OMG You guys are a riot. You ought to go on Sat. Night Live!!

    34. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 8 years ago
      PostCard... Here is my hug!!!! XO
    35. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Nevada, I only did that once. Word spread in Mo Bay & never got a chance to repeat that ! LOL !!
    36. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago

    37. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
