Antique Bricklayer's Hammer — Original Handle, Unmarked, c.Late 19th–Early 20th Century
An antique bricklayer's hammer with original handle — the classic mason's tool form, with a square striking poll on one end and a wide chisel blade on the other for scoring and splitting brick. At 900g it sits in the ideal working weight range for this pattern. Intact examples with their original handle are increasingly uncommon, as handles often split or get replaced over generations of use.
No maker stamp is present, consistent with many trade-quality tools of the late 19th and early 20th century that were produced for the building trades without retail branding.
