My new lot of old tools. :)

[Two Socks]

I have gotten my hands on some tools here recently. From todays carboot sale I got a nice old balpeen hammer and a large auger. Not a bad deal for 6 pounds total

.

Also, when I helped a friend clearing out a house the other week I got some things they were about to throw out. Among these were a nice vice and a grinding wheel that I am happy with.

In the lot there were also some things that I do not know the use for. First there is this hammer that belonged to my friends granddad once. I haven`t cleaned it up, but it is made of brass and steel.

Is it to hit soft metals with? Does anybody know the intended use for such a hammer? And does anyone know the use of the following item? I don`t know anything about it but it looked interesting to me.

The largest hole has a diameter of < 1cm. That rules a spaghetti-measurer out already...

Nice haul

Not sure what the little clamp is but fascinated to hear ideas

Brass faced hammer is usually used on hard surfaces, but because the hammer is softer it saves wear and marking on the item you are hitting. From memory.

The last item might be used for drawing out small brass pipes to smaller and smaller sizes?

The vice like tool is for holding soft drawn copper pipe so that the end of the pipe can be flared out to take a locking nut, used in refrigeration mostly, I used a set of these 'swaging' tools when I was in the game.
A company called Imperial Eastman are a huge company that make them, not sue of the make of yours.

I've got a similar one to the last tool. As hog says it's for flaring the end of copper pipes, for car brakes lines in my case.

Looks like a brakeline flaring tool to me as well.
The red part on the hammer shaft looks like some Atlas forge metalworking hammers I bought for my wife ages ago.
The hammers have a softer face than what you hit so it doesn't mark the surface, often they have one copper side and a rawhide side.
I have one made by THOR, in Shirley, Birmingham.

Thanks for all input here guys! I followed hogs link and saw this picture:

That got me thinking, so I went through the box of stuff I salvaged and found the counterpart to this set:

And they go together:

Made by "imperial brass" in chigago US. I`d have never guessed what it was for.

It's defiantly a brake pipe flaring tool

Yes, the ammer is for soft metal. I saw another just this morning

Non-ferrous hammers are great for working with thin metal that you don't want to mar. They are also a must-have for any blacksmith that needs to straighten red-hot iron that's been twisted. When twisted, the stock will bow a bit and needs to be smacked back straight on an wooden stump with a soft hammer. Lots of guys use ball bats and such, but a lead/copper/brass mallet tends to last longer.
