Cross-peen hammers (left hammer) were often used by blacksmiths and carpenters to shape metal, drive nails, or make delicate adjustments. Double-faced hammers (right hammer) were commonly used for construction, blacksmithing, and metalwork, particularly in shaping iron and steel. These tools would have been essential in early workshops, farms, and industrial settings, dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.Left Hammer: Features a cross-peen (or cross-pein) head, which has a flat striking face on one side and a wedge-shaped peen perpendicular to the handle on the other side. The wooden handle is well-worn, darkened, and slightly curved. The metal head has signs of rust and patina, indicative of age and extensive use. Likely used for blacksmithing, woodworking, or metalworking, as the wedge-shaped end helps with shaping metal or driving nails in tight spaces. Right Hammer: Has a double-faced head, with both ends being flat and identical in size. The wooden handle is straight and aged, showing signs of prolonged use. The metal head is solid, with a thick profile, suggesting it was used for heavy-duty striking, such as in blacksmithing, stonework, or general metalworking. This hammer type is commonly referred to as a sledgehammer or machinist’s hammer.hammer, farm equipment, commercial equipment, blacksmith, workshop, garage, construction
