old MEXICAN sterling silver alb claw hammer/presentation piece- $676
During one of my wanderings, must have been at least thirty-five years ago, I stumbled onto a street lined with on-going yard sales. I was somewhere in northern Ohio, and it was one of those times I was in no hurry to get home.
In hindsight, I wish I’d pumped the elderly lady selling it for more information. All I remember is that it was a retirement gift to her late husband who was an official with a local of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. She called it “his gavel.” I loved it then, and I still love it today.
