Vntg Hand Forged Blacksmith Made Snow Knocker Snowball Hammer for Horse Hoof S4

Description

We are pleased to offer this original, nicely made, hand forged snowball or snow knocking hammer.  From our own collection this has a very unique design.  This is an item that should be in every early logging collection.  This neat little hammer would have hung from the horses harness by the snap hook in the forged over end of the hammer handle.  These snow knocking hammers were used to knock the ice ball out of the horse shoe before starting up a slick hill or walking in on the barn floor so the horse has traction.  Old and blacksmith made.  The hammer measures 7 5/8" long with a 5 3/4" long head.  Over all length including the snap hook is 10 1/8".   No two snowball hammers are exactly alike.  If you have followed our auctions in the past, you know that we handle a lot of vintage hand forged items.  We scour barns and outbuildings in Maine looking for little gems such as this one.  Satisfaction 100% guaranteed or your purchase price refunded within 3 days of receiving item. We will gladly combine items to save on your shipping costs. Check out my
