Was picking up around the work bench, ( never enough time), and found 3 hammers with the Heller logo, and the horse.    Very nicely made, and someone here asked about them, so here they be.

John - Is the claw hammer design unique to Heller?  If not, is there anything you could tell me about that design?  I have a handle-less hammer I found in my attic that sure looks close.

I'm with Oily on the claw hammer.  That is an unusual claw.  What size is it?  It looks smallish.

All carpenter's hammers ( from all the makers) with that stepped poll are called "Bell face" As compared to the normal flat face hammer. The one on the right that you can't see the claw of, looks like a farrier's shoeing hammer.

I went to the shop to look again, but remembered I had already shipped that little claw hammer to South Dakota.   It was beefy looking because it was very small.   About half size of 16oz. claw hammer, and nicely finished and proportioned.   Looking through the rack  I found the hidden one that is indeed a farriers hammer.  On this on the side of the face, not the center is: Heller Bros. in a circle around the horse.
