Spanish round eye style Carpenters claw hammer 500Gram Kenneth Lynch collection

Description: This is a Spanish style claw hammer it could be of French or Spanish origin. I am unfamiliar with the trademark. This tool was forged by expert French or Spanish tool smiths between the world wars. Below is a description of how these tools came to the US. this information is cut and pasted from the Davistown Museum website. the Over the past 60 years, Mr. Kenneth Lynch, Sr., has traveled the world collecting tools. He has visited flea markets, closed factories, antique dealers, etc., acquiring a hammer here, an anvil there, and has traveled many miles for just one tool. He has purchased large collections from major silver companies such as International Silver. This has brought Mr. Lynch highly valued hammers, stakes, and anvils. Among these many collections purchased are those of International Silver Company, the Metropolitan Silver Company, and the Poole Silver Company.The very largest part of the Lynch collection comes from France, for certainly the French made beautiful tools, properly hardened, and serviceable.In France, during the early part of the 20th century, a number of toolmakers began having difficulty selling the many fine tools their shops turned out. These companies had been in existence up to 200 years. All of their tools were made by hand and later individually forged on huge belt-driven power hammers. All were hardened and tempered at the hands of masters. The problem of selling these tools became so great that many companies were in jeopardy of closing. In the 1930's these companies gradually came together to form one cooperative. This would be a fraternity of toolmakers and has come to be known as MOB. The tools were still manufactured in the individual shops, but were all represented by MOB. Each tool bears both the MOB stamp and the stamp of the shop where it was forged.The MOB companies eventually accrued a large number of hammers, stakes and anvils of odd sizes not popular in the contemporary market. Among these were many styles of beautiful repousse tools. Mr. Lynch acquired all of these tools and had them shipped to the United States. They amounted to several hundred tons.
