1906 Hale Hammer

[Paul]

Newton
I happened to think about the hammer I use given to me by my mentor which
belonged to his father. This would date it about 1880-1890. It has no
threads on the head, just a tapered fit. I cleaned the tapers and tapped the
head on and have been using it for about 20 years. I like the balance and
feel. But I'm stuck with the one #2 tip. Granted, it will fit most
situations but I was wondering if any on the list may have a tip or two
lying in the tool drawer they can't use because there are no threads and the
hole passes all the through. It is a rosewood adjustable Hale tuning hammer.
Just curious.
