"Dog Leg Hammer" - what is it? Do I have one?

You aren't stupid, the paper isn't the same. Fist pic has three dogleg. This one doesn't have any. The fist pic has two hammers that show silver and the rest black. This pic has one black and the rest show silver. A dogleg stands out. This isn't the same pic. That's all.

Basically what Bruce stated. S.G. made their own hammers but do not think they made a Fat Boy as by the time they were up and running the straight hammer was in use. but may have had a transfer from Rockola with KR (made for Rock-Ola by Kal Machine) S'G' made their own hammers as well (yes same company, different locations) and as seen above did make the FatBoy hammers. These can bee seen on IP as well as S'G' . This was done after IP had lost its contract and being assembled by the Grand Rapids plant.
National Cash Register made them for Inland.

After all the discussion about carbines, finally a small detail comes out that I've not even heard discussed before. Interesting. And to find they aren't early as I'd guess, but almost like a trial part way through.

Jim, lots of small details lost in the shuffle. But working on that. Problem with the fatboy is that it is a narrow window for them to be correct. I suspect many wound up as spares. And then obsolete.

All that makes sense. It was a trying time for all.

Agreed Cali...then he was talking about post #8.

Come on Promo....Really.

Urm .. I was under the impression that I only have 11 spare hammers. But you managed to confuse me now! Will check if I didn't pick from different boxes and have two places where I store 11 hammers each. Wouldn't be the worst thing to happen :)

Be careful Promo you wouldn't want your Message box to fill up again by Offers from posting your Collection like you did with the Flip Sights.

Dang, you were right! Funny detail that I have two lots of 11 hammers each, stored seperately ... So I now took pictures of the same ones as in the starting post. Wonder what you can tell me on the manufacturers?
