I have this tool that I need to ID so it can be sold properly. No maker's marks that I can find.

Hello, Papaw. I may have found it. Page 94 of The Hammer The King of Tools.   Snowball, or Snowknocker's Hammer. I will try to take a picture of the page. Regards, Lou

That is it thanks !

Pretty interesting device.  I can't imagine it was fun, stopping in 20 degree weather to clean the snow from your horse's hoof.

Also left hand piece in #794 in ""Antique & Unusual Wrenches" -- so maybe it worked with some brand of horseshoe calks?

Yes,has a caulk wrench on it.

Papaw,

I have that hammers twin brother.  Always wondered what it was for.

That underengineered handle guarantees its scarcity.

And now you know - I bet it's a great relief, knowing how easy it will be to clean the snow of your horse's hoofs now, when you get heavy snows down there in southern California.

I hope you've escaped the fires - can't tell from the internet if they're burning in your area.  Sure has been a horrible fire year.

Has it sold yet?

Been there, done that - and no, nothing is fun in 20 degree weather
