The larger hammer has an interesting double faced "barrel" shaped head. The head is marked with the ATHA mark which is an "A" in a horseshoe. The head is also marked with a "6" which I assume represents 6 pounds and I confirmed that on my scale. Overall length of the hammer is about 14 inches. Distance from striking face to striking face is about 5 inches. Diameter of striking face is about 2 1/4 inch. I made a handle for this hammer from a broken sledge hammer handle. I have rubbed some boiled linseed oil into the handle. The handle is firmly affixed to the hammer head. The hammer head has a few chips to the perimeter of the striking faces. (See photos)2.) The second or smaller hammer is of cross peen design. This hammer also has the ATHA logo and a "2" and something else maybe a "1/2"? The hammer weighs about 3 pounds with handle.
