    image Does anyone recognize this hammer marking? I'm wondering who made these hammers.

    Thanks Bill,

    Were they decent hammers. They seem rather large, but light for their size.

    They made very nice hammers back in the day. I assume they are long gone. I remember calling them many years ago hoping to buy replacement hammers from them but was told they only sold to manufacturers.
