Title
A cast copper-alloy small hammer's head
Description
English: A complete probable Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy pipe tamper in the shape of a claw hammer head probably dating to the 17th century.

Description:

The claw hammer head has a rectangular socket for the handle and a conical bell/poll at one end and angled split 'claw' at the other. The bell/poll and neck of the head is decorated with bands of ridges and grooves along the neck. TThere are also decorative grooves on each side of the socket, near the edges. The object is in reasonable condition with a few small areas of rust developing on the surface. There are no visible maker's marks.

Measurements: 38.9mm long, 8.62mm wide, 8.53mm thick and 7.68g in weight.

Discussion:

Similar full size iron examples are dated to the 17th century and recorded on the database @: LON-065AD4 and LON-068890.LON-068890 is a particularly close match as it shares the decoration on the neck and bell/poll and the shape of the claw. Similar pipe tamper examples are shown on the database @: HAMP-A441B7 and YORYM-0CAE55
