Big hot rivets!  Cool!

I have a tool resembling a sledge hammer head that looks like an
ordinary hammer face on one end but has a cup about the size of one of
those rivet heads on the other, eye in the middle for a helve.
Original paint, never used.  I've assumed that it was a rivet heading
tool for manual heading of hot rivets before hand-held air hammers
were commonplace.

BTW, Steve, I had to go and look at the other stuff on your web site
while I was there.  I like your Greene & Greene-inspired pieces.  I
might have to make myself a new anvil stand just to copy yours. :-)
