The attached photos are of a Brass Hammer that I was given many years ago. It never got used because it was well packaged and so shiny that I never felt like putting a mark on it and it was a long time before I discovered that the end could be removed to reveal two small screwdrivers which have seen more use than the Hammer.

I got a lump for less than a tenner from ebay last month and just like the above it's like a beautifully made piece of art you can touch

It is a bit annoying because these items were made to be used in anger to do amazing tasks

Found the patent for it too, from 1948

I have one, and used it for years, and never knew that! Thanks

That is very neat! And would be a wonderful beginner's lathe project to make one, concealed screwdrivers and all.
