Wait a minute, I counted, you only have 13 hammers?  ONLY 13??  What's WRONG
with this PICTURE???

Those are nice, I'm holding out for an 18th Century signed one.  Had a few
last year that were early 19th C, very early, but as the carney man sez,
Close, but no seegar.  Dug my strap head claw hammer out of the tool box
back over the summer, although it's gotten sucked into the debris field on
top of the workbench.
