Smaller than 24 oz should be easy to come by.  Probably take a medium flat rate box.  One of us surely has something to fill the bill.  I'll try to check my bucket of hammers today.  Easier to ship just a head.

Dustin, there's a 12 oz Herbrand on eBay:

Starting bid at $6.99 and $3.48 shipping.  Less than you'd pay at Ace Hardware for a cheap 12 oz hammer.

Dustin,

The vintage Herbrand BP hammer linked above is a deal (complete with good handle) and the head is better tool steel than you could find today if you bought new.  It doesn't get any better than this...

About $10 w/shipping and you're good to go for the next 50 years.

Dustin, if you don't want that Herbrand, say so! I could use it in my go-bag that I carry to work for picture hanging, etc.

Why do lots of sellers refer to their items as old antiques,aren't all antiques old?

When I was young, antique meant at least 80 years old.  I've seen more recently 100 years old.  But popularly, the word has lost its precision.   I think what you see is  a mixture of advertising hype and just ignorance.   That and an attempt to distinguish between a real antique and all the 30 year old things that are so often called antique. 

The State of Texas says a vehicle at least 25 years old is an antique, and qualifies for an antique license plate. My '78 BMW has an antique plate, but I don't consider it such. The state also says vehicle at least 25 years old can be classed as classics, so a 1985 car or motorcycle is a "Classic"- Not in my mind!
