Need help in IDing this piece of brass

homebre973 · Apr 10, 2017

This was found on old farm land near a livery and an old dirt road. The penny is there for sizing. It is quite heavy, and has almost a screwdriver-like tip but it is too wide for that.
Thanks,
Andy from Hillsborough

Old piano tuning hammer handle. If you look where the handle goes into the head of the hammer it has a wedge shape like your piece.

Amazing Id +3 I could never have figured that one out.

There's a whole lot of knowledge available on this forum. :agreed:

re: brass piece

I think it is possible, but not sure it is correct. There are no threads on the piece, the "tool" end is kind of thick, and there is a small hole in the other end. But thank you for your input.

update

two members of my club identified it as a shaft to a skeleton key. Who knows?

I just like the sound of "piano tuning hammer handle"
It sounds kind of sexy...
Say it a few times :yes:
