[TheForge] Oliver Hammer

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Dave, my impression was the term  refers to treadle type hammers in a very generalized sense,
and covers a wide range of styles and mechanisms. Often they use a conventional sledge, wood handle and all.

Good Morning,
Does anyone have any information on an "OLIVER HAMMER" ?
I have seen some stories somewhere over the years.
These are really simple mechanical hammers that may be run off of
a line shaft or a water wheel or what have you.
Any information or pictures are greatly appreciated.

thanks,
