That's a good looking hammer, and a decent price. Needs restoration is gonna mean probably another $1k to $1500 in work and parts, and hopefully it has dies or it'll cost several hundred for those. Would be a hell of a conversation piece either way.

Slayden, MS is actually where I used to attend church before we moved. I probably know the guy haha.

 

What drives this thing? Is it all mechanical or air driven or what?

 

Edit: Maybe belt driven since I see some type of drum/pulley?
