If you still have it put it on eBay MaseratiHave a beat up one i replaced with a nice Thor hammer about 15 years ago
I believe it is Zinc rather than leadWhat kind of metal is it made from ?
The hammer shown is available from VB for $34.00. They show it as being Lead. VB part number9-0620. Moss shows it at $45.00 and call it a zinc alloy.
That explains the looks. Will you carry it on your Harrington Alpine ? Do you also have the other tools of the kit ?
FYI, This one was bought from VB and is in the trunk of my red Harrington. Does it look the same? The head looks to be the same as does the wood handle. This one has been used a few times. I'll order one from VB and Moss today to see what they're now selling. Keep in mind that VB sometimes don't have any idea what they sell but Moss does. I'll post photos of the current hammers when I receive them. It may take a few weeks due to the holiday.Hi 65 Beam
You are referring to the common Thor hammer in the VB catalogue. And although there is no illustration of the lead one do you think it looks like the one on the picture? Do you think I would have posted this if it was about a common Thor hammer??.........,
Also, If I say it's zinc then it is zinc

Does it mean Harrington Alpines were delivered w/o tools sets of are you referring to non originality of your bits ?[QUOTE
I would but the concours judges will mark it down as non-original
I have enough tools to make about 7, 100 point tool rolls and enough for 1 late series one. (keep an eye on ebay UK for the next few weeks as I'm have a partial clear out)
Good stuff!Does it mean Harrington Alpines were delivered w/o tools sets of are you referring to non originality of your bits ?
I think Tool sets were Accessories for all Alpines? No, my parts are spot on but not a lot of people in the UK know about the zinc hammers being correct but rare for early series cars ( you know what I'm like Bernd.)
Will keep watching eBay for your offers. You could also do a straight offer by PM. Do you need a tool kit?Just let me know what bits your looking for. I can't say I'll have what you need but I'll give you first refusal
P.S. Just got a set of Zenith's back from glass blasting. Think they carry a pair of 130 mains. Will check later...
