A hammer to break up candy? Very cool and a fantastic and detailed capture. Great metal tones. V.

Had to laugh at John's comment as that is what came to my mind! A toffee hammer... now where's the toffee! Terrific shot! V

John Lamb		25-Jan-2013 18:24
Is that Maxwell's Silver hammer?

Guest		25-Jan-2013 18:04
Oh me, I can remember - and never better used than when the toffee is liquorice-flavoured!!! The knack of the sweet shop lady to hold the slab in one hand and tap with just the right amount of pressure to break the slab without shattering it!!! Heigh ho! - Suey xxx

Johnny JAG		25-Jan-2013 17:53
Wow, is it an antique or do they still make them?

SRW		25-Jan-2013 15:28
My grandad had a similar one... -- in the days when toffee used to take hours to eat...! Nicely photographed....

Guest		25-Jan-2013 15:24
As long as it is not Blue Beard!

Stephanie		25-Jan-2013 13:01
I've never seen a toffee hammer before but I dearly love toffee! :) Do you make toffee?

Sheila		25-Jan-2013 12:06
What I want to know, is why you have a Toffee Hammer in your possession! Are you secret toffee makers? I have to get to know you better :-)

Sheila		25-Jan-2013 12:04
