| Description |
Two Plier/Hammers used by cordwainers to stretch leather in place and while it is held in place tack it in place permanently.
A) The larger is 8" long and is inscribed (in a circle) "W. & C. WYNN WARRANTED" with "2" in the center. This one has many nicks in the side opposite the hammer head to indicate the user would hit with what ever part of the tool came to hand in order to fix the leather in place.
B) The smaller is 6.75" long and is inscribed (in a circle) "R N M (several unreadable letters) & Sons" a larger "CO" in the center and "STEEL HAMMER" under the circle.
