Curious what kind of hammer this is. Can anyone help me . Got it at an antique store and it had a note on it mentioning it was a coopers hammer . Is it indeed used for barrel making? It had UM stamped on the sides and has a very small handle that I just replaced

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Hello, I believe the peen on a Cooper's Hammer is in line with the handle, as in a Hoop Driver. Yours is possibly a Cobbler's Hammer. I will get out one of my books later on, unless someone figures this out before that. Nice job on the handle!!! Regards, Lou

Hello, I couldn't find an exact match, but I found one that looks close. Looks like a Coppersmith's or Tinsmith's hammer, octagon poll cross peen hammer. Regards,, Lou
