Anyone know about hammers?

Got a bundle of tools today off the local facebook selling page...

4 hammers and a short crowbar.

Anyone know what these two are for?

Boot sale tomorrow...hopefully more treasure.

Hammers are not my strong point.

Bit of guess work, but I imagine the lower might be a cobblers hammer. The big one looks like a smithing hammer.

The bottom one is a planishing hammer for shaping sheet metal. The other is a cross peen hammer.

Cheers guys. Just need to clean them up and sort the handles 😄

no planishing hammers there I'm afraid Plannishing hammers have a greater distance between face and handle to avoid catching the handle on the work

The small cranked cross peen with large face is indeed a leatherworkers hammer, most likely a cobblers but are used by many trades (including bookbinding, where it would be called a backing hammer).

The large cross peen (with hexagonal face) is a blacksmiths or engineers hammer. I have a few like that on my shelf.

the others are of course a ball peen and a warrington pin hammer

Sorry S/M but its not a planishing hammer, at least not the sort we use over here(served my apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker), it is,what has already been said a cobblers hammer.

Bac when I was still an aviation tin bender, the welding shop used them a lot too.

Yeah it' not exactly like the ones we have (use) here either but I can't find any other hammer close to it.

The "face" is very similar, ie designed to not mark the metal/material you are striking, but it has a very short neck, & only has the one striking face, planishing hammers have 2 ie a round face & a square one.
