DrKerry Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is in the road around the corner from my house. My wife and I walk by it from time to time and I always wanted to get a pic of it. Halloween night we were walking and I actually had the camera with me so I finally took a pic of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaleDale Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 My wife has one of those. It's not "preserved", though. I'm not allowed to use it. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyD340 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 well I have to say that is quite unusual for sure, first time I have ever seen a hammer as part of the street, is the street named Hammer Drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That's really wild. I think I'd have to save it, free it from its tarmac prison and let it return to joyful hammering. I'm weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That's pretty interesting, I'd like to know how it got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Kind of an interesting hammer to see in the pavement. Ball peen hammers are not all that common. For those who don't know, they are a metal working hammer. I've used them at the forge when I was a kid, for expanding metal and bending it for curves. I also used them for riveting. I still have one and a box of copper rivets and washers, in case I ever have to rivet something together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not Hammer Drive, lmbo It's been there for a few years now. Most we can figure is it may have fallen off of a truck during paving or just a truck driving down the street!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nxr Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Stop. It's Hammer time. Looks like a Soviet hammer my grandparents let me use when i was about 8 or 9 years old building wooden chairs.

ToyLvr Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 My Dad helped a friend of his pour a new concrete porch nearly 40 years ago. Somewhere in the midst of this, my Dad dropped a trowel in the concrete, and it got covered up. When they removed the forms, the end of the handle was visible from the side edge of the new slab. To this day, it's still visible, if you know where to look. These weird little things happen all the time when working with concrete. In the case of this ballpeen hammer, I wonder if they used it to thump Jimmy Hoffa on the head before they poured the concrete on top of him??? :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
