Gentles - All due respect, take another look at the photo. In fact, this one is not the one they made to check shank to molding dimension. Rather this was designed to check the molding / string angle with the hammer pulled up to contact string. The folded-over part of the shorter length would sit on top of the string (Baldwin name would be upside down), and the longer length would be brought adjacent to the side of the subject hammer (which would have previously had a line drawn bisecting the molding). The gauge would indicate whether the hammer is striking at 90 degrees or not. Del - you must be too busy unpacking. What an unenviable task! Best to all. Remember to use your ear plugs if you end up at the fireworks!

Simply lay the short, bent over part on top of the hammershank, move it so that the long, narrow part runs along the hammerhead molding and see that the hammerhead is square to the shank. When replacing hammers it is used to draw a line along the centerline of the original hammerhead molding on the sample hammerheads (those left in place to align the new hammerheads to). This can be quite helpful if the original hammerheads have been badly mis-shaped over the years.

Hello, I found this in one of my tool boxes and would like to know what it is? It is aluminum, has Baldwin written on it and is about three inches long. Looks like some sort of gauge but I'm not sure. Thanks, Jack Houweling _____ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
