STUBS – Watch hammer
Flat faced hammer head, circa 1850.
£30.00
Forged steel with PS STUBS stamp, the frame also stamped 13, which is thought to identify the actual maker.

NB: The design of Stubs hammer heads changed very little during the 19th century and were mostly sold without a handle, this being made to suit by the owner, as here.
