Wow, quite the selection of hammers out there. Unfortunately, no makers mark (Tissot would be nice!). My handle is unusual though, I can't find another like it. It's a very strong closed grain wood, I'm thinking boxwood. Couple of CU's showing small splatters from the years of smacking paint cans.


Back to bike tools, these are also in my tool chest, The VAR wrench I use all the time. The Renolds and Perry (vice mount) chain tools are nice but don't perform well on modern chains. The small Snap-on pliers are incredibly useful for getting a grip on small things when nothing else will do and finally the old lockring wrench also does a good job on those old english single-notch lock rings.
