One of the few items I brought home from a local estate sale is this uncommon Berylco H45 Inspector's hammer. The last photo shows the faint Berylco imprint on the original handle. I rarely see Berylco tools. Considering I live in Houston and Houston's oil industry history, I am a little surprised I haven't seen more.
Very nice!!
Yes indeed , that a nice piece.
Thanks guys!
A little help here please. What would the inspector be inspecting ? and how does the hammer come into play?

Great questions. I don't know. Since it is non sparking. One guess is for mining?
This is a long shot, but I have heard that boiler inspectors would tap each rivet on old style riveted boilers, listening for the telltale hollow sound of a loose rivet.

I like it.

Gas line work and surprisingly valuable.

I sold a Berylco non-sparking hammer on Ebay to someone down your neck of the woods a while ago
