11. I thought it might be a blacksmith's punch hole starter

Sat Jun 20, 2026, 06:29 PM

Saturday

but the ones I found all had a flat face on the opposite side to hit with another hammer. The tapered
point is well rounded and I'm beginning to think nether end has ever been machined. This something
an R & D department came up with that never got into production?

Gonna send pictures to some antique tool and hammer sites and see if they have any good ideas.
If I come up empty handed I'll put it on ebay with a " try and find another one you hammer collectors "

Really appreciated your help today!

I found something called a chasing hammer that's used in jewelry making and metalwork. Maybe? Vinca Tuesday #15
