Cobblers hammer?
Hey my friend had one of these little hammers with 4 screwdrivers inside of it, she found a second one and it appears the one is real full brass (magnets don't stick) and the second one as you can see the handle is silver and the head isn't true brass color? Any ideas why the difference? I haven't tried restoring the new hammer thats different in color yet

Haha thanks, I'm pretty new to restoration but am interested in making it a new hobby =)
As far as I can tell it looks like the second hammer we found is plated or has been restored improperly in the past or something, the weight on both hammers is identical (to the hand anyways, haven't put them on a scale) but have clearly different finishes, and the first one we got is solid brass for sure judging by an impact crater on the head of it. (The second hammer lacks any impact marks to be sure of the brass density)

Hi CErnewin, Guys,
Welcome to the forums.
A nice looking hammer, though I would suggest it is a bit light for a cobbler.
Could very well be the same manufacturer but a different production run using cheaper materials !Best Regards:
