What is it? LXVII

It's not for any type of bib.

This is not the answer that I was looking for, but the one marked "Wizard" may have been used for that, though it was also used for the purpose that I have in mind.

Rob

No, but thanks for the laugh, I didn't see that one coming.

Is it a clip to hold "mad money" under a garment?

Carl G.

It's not for money, but you're getting close.

Rob

All the best,

I have seen a Japanese design claw hammer that had a head bent like this. Of course the claw hammer did not have a dual head.

Is the marking Asian?

It doesn't have any markings on it, any idea what the Japanese hammer was for?

Rob

Rob, would this be to hold/position an identification or business card of some kind? "Press" pass, etc.?

i.e. affix to lapel or suit pocket with one end, card on the other.

Nope, not for business cards.

Now back to the hammer. It looks like it is for thin (or tinn) sheet metal work, because it is much to light for a "real hammer"[tm]. What I found is a hammer that resembles the one, but only the metal part beeing flipped over (the edges showing up, not down; a German form of a gutter hammer). It is used for roofing work, esp. gutter work. Used for folding over.

If you understood what I wanted to explain with my limited vocabulary. :-)

Sounds like a good possibility, I'm guessing it's either for sheet metal or upholstery work, a few similar ones can be seen at the link below:

Rob

I didn't find one for upholstery work that looked at least similar. All did have a much sharper "fin" (??)

But as an old proverb says: "different countries, different hammers" ... :-)

Nick

What would the brand say/look like? If the figure on the left is supposed to be a figure 1, it would be backwards on whatever was branded.

I guess something like the Klepper folding kayaks

Nick

I don't think it actually says anything, probably just some type of abstract design.

Rob

...

I wasn't sure of the specific purpose, but it's clear it's mounted backwards on the handle...

That's possible! Someone found the hammer, thought wth is this, and flipped it. This would explain that the handle isn't very professionally fittet to the head (looking close at the photo).

Here is the closest match I could find:

Not to forget: I'm not claiming that I'm right. I'm just thinking loud.
