Here at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain in Upstate NY there were many historical buildings with lots of artifacts. One display showed tool artifacts and here was this massive steel hammer that looked typical for a hammer of today, but was about four times larger. It was dug up on the premises and was probably made in the 1700’s.
That is an amazing view of a hammer that was used in the Revolutionary War.
It’s amazing how well preserved it is. You could easily believe it was only a few decades old, and found neglected in someone’s basement.
it is the missing link between claw hammers or sledge hammers!
Nice picture! Nice post!
