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

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

Wow, is it an antique or do they still make them?
SRW25-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!
Stephanie25-Jan-2013 13:01
I've never seen a toffee hammer before but I dearly love toffee! :)
Do you make toffee?
Sheila25-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 :-)
