"Steel hammer head, without shaft (handle). Steel was expensive in Norway, so possibly immigrants would value this type of object and bring it with them to the new land. Shape of the hammer head suggests that it was used for stone rather than wood. Label: #1556 Inscribed "Hammer og ... gammel skrew driver" (trans: hammer and old screwdriver)." -Description from 2006 appraisal by Mary Jo Thorsheim
