When I was a kid one of my first jobs was a helper on the construction of a grain elevator just north of Calgary Alberta. There was 4 or 5 carpenters on the job and they all had these and called them cribbing hammers. Don't know if that's the right name but I've heard other people call them that.

It would certainly be called "rusty."

That does fit better than cribbing hammer.

So, given the rust levels, this will go up on That Auction Place as "rare and collectible," right?   :grin: :grin: :grin:
