This is my Facom hammer. I use this at the motorcycle shop.

The tire jack on the left was left in the back of my car years ago at a BJ's buyers club. I had new tires installed, a couple weeks later, found the tool laying in my spare tire well. The two wooden handled hammers were both found while riding a bike.The claw hammer looks like it has a True Temper logo on one side, the maul has initials etched into the top, maybe the initials of the owner.
The tire jack has been a very handy tool, including use on bikes. And, It makes for an excellent lever.
I did have a small rock hammer that was similar to the tire jack, also found while on a bike, but have no idea what I did with it.

Continuing the baseball "sidebar": one of the nicknames for a 12-6 curve ball is a "yellow hammer".

Sandy Koufax, Barry Zito, Clayton Kershaw, Adam Wainwright, and Nolan Ryan are regarded as having particularly effective 12-6 curves.

I have a Hart decking hammer, I believe it’s a 22oz. It’s nice hickory axe handle. A little shorter than a framer’s the main difference is that it has a smooth face where the framer has the waffle head.

It’s currently at a work site.

Good subject

All I have left to show for my favorite Estwing futuristic looking hammer is this photo :(. Kids broke into a rental house I was working on and this hammer and a boombox radio were stolen. I have 2 of my late dad's hammers I'll have to go find and make pics of. Both wooden handle Plumb and Craftsman.

I also have a tire hammer, this well-used Ken Tool bead breaker. I've used it as a wrist exerciser but never on a tire.

I think this is a mallet but close enough. Very useful when you don’t want to deform the thing you are hitting. It has been surprisingly useful.

Plastic, not rubber.

I have used a bead breaker like that. My parents owned a small truck top back in the 1970s before tubeless tires were the norm. There was a split ring on one side of the rim that held the tire on. The only power tool we had was the big impact wrench for the lug nuts. You had to hold the bead breaker against the rim with one had and smack it with a hammer with your other hand. Once you drove it in, you could lever the handle sideways to work the bead loose. When we got a sliding hammer bead breaker, it was a lot easier for a skinny 14 year-old to manage.

repousse hammer
 

That is a fine example of a repousse hammer.

Found this buried in the yard. At least it looks cv...

very likely and it's a style often called "German" in which case I think they wouldn't use the French expression but more like what in English is called "Chasing". With that bulb on the handle I guess it's for delicate work in thin metals.

some roofer probably dropped it from up on your roof and it sunk into the ground. Maybe he was done with the job (or done with roofing altogether) so didn't care enough to go fetch it

Perhaps two roofers were having a heated argument and finally realized after months of animosity that neither one of them was going to give in, so they agreed to disagree and "Burried the hatchet".

"European" pattern cross-pein head: I have one similar that had a broken handle I replaced and it's one of my favorites when you want a heavy hammer but it's a little lighter than the lightest USA style sledges. Really useful, maybe if I remember I'll snap some pix.

A few days ago I had to finish a repair on an upholstered chair by replacing a bunch of upholstery tacks I had removed. I got out a tack hammer I hardly ever use and expected that the 'split end' face would be magnetic, as nearly every tack hammer is so you can first tap in the nail tips to start 'em then flip to the working head for driving them home...but nothing doing!
I happened to complain about it to a neighbor artist who said: "hang on, I have a hammer that might work" and came back in a few minutes with this beautiful hammer with a slightly drooping cast steel head that he explained was his Grandfather's (or maybe Great-Grandfather's) who had been trained as a tailor in Eastern Europe but that training included some upholstery skills.

That hammer was not only magnetic on the small end (yay) but worked like a champ! When I run into him again I'll ask if I can take some snaps of his (antique) it was a joy to use!

Do you know this one's use?
This was my great uncle Phil's hammer. I used this for (what I'm sure just seemed like) hours on end in his shop as a young boy.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...309966dad.jpeg

sure looks like a tack hammer but guessing that it might be larger than typical for upholstery. Is the "split end" magnetic?

Correct, and it is!👍🏻🧲

Rubber Mallet
 

Other than the wood one above, no one has posted any non-metal hammers. (I guess the technical term is a mallet.)

My go-to when I have to use a little force around a frame and I don’t want to mar any surfaces. Great for quill stems and seat posts when the best way out is a little ways in.

Delicate demo

I have a nice set of Martin body hammers and the more regularly used ones (except the beast that won’t fit in the body work tool box) hang on the board.

Ran it through the wire wheel. It was pretty bad. Yes, red cedar shake roof back in the early 60's.

If your dead-blow hammer dies, is it a dead dead-blow hammer? Asking for a friend

Estwings are hard to hang on to around here.
Both the regular hammers and hatchets seem to grow legs.
As nice as the older variants were, that stacked leather handle can be a liability in rough work. Had the blisters from a loose stack when I was around 18 years old to prove it.
I had heard somewhere that they made a brief short term foray into knife-making, but have never seen anything to substantiate?
Current hammer is a generic fibre-glas handle framing hammer, which is all I can seem to hang on to around here.
It ain't bad. The slightly heavier than normal head on it does nice duty on anything I put it up to.
Had a nice short handled 5 lb head forging hammer for quite a while, but the head separated from the hardwood handle at work, and I never got around to replacing it.
No pix- the current hammer is absolutely boring.

Since this thread drifted to hatchets...
This was also from my grandpa, the handle ("haft") was broken. I hafted it and made a sheath. Seems to be very good steel. At some point someone sharpened it clumsily and left some ugly marks, but I look at it as patina now.

A couple more somewhat unusual. An older regular size hammer and small brass dual head hammer from the toolbox of a retired Navy friend of my dad's who repaired watches. Mr. Ed from Union City NJ. And on the right a small maul that has been hand-welded to a hollow pipe. A good size when a sledge hammer is too long or too heavy.
