Wound Hide Leather Headed Hammer For All Craft Work. Lifetime's Use Still.

GBP 11.00

  • Jan 31st
There is approximately 2.5 inches thickness of 0.15 inch thick hide coiled to form this leather headed mallet. It has done years of service. The total weight is 519gm., giving a quite substantial weight to the working head. 4 large screws hold the hide together and the handle is held firmly in place through the diameter of the coil with a metal wedge. It was originally used by compositors and machine operators to level printing matter by tapping a wooden planer on the surface. The resilient leather head meant there was no damage to the type or plates if it accidentally slipped and struck them. The same advantage would apply if the mallet was used for any similar delicate work, eg clock mechanisms, stone carving, lettering, metal work, etc. Will be posted world wide with the added security of the Signed For service. Destinations will vary, as will the fees if other posting options are specifically requested buyer. Please allow time if questions need answering, thank you.
