APSCO Hale Piano Tuning Hammer

Description

Im upgrading my tuning hammer and this is too beautiful to sit in a drawer unused.
This, im pretty sure, is a vintage Hale tuning hammer. Rosewood handle, thick and professional profile. Chromed hardware. 10 degree head to get you up on top of the tuning pin, and a short head. Tip is a number 2 from American Piano Supply company and came with the hammer. The tip is not stripped and still catches the pin, which is awesome considering its age.
The collet is a snug almost air-tight fit, you can hear and feel it when it catches...with a machined slot for locking. The head is darker because this was a tarnished hammer. I restore tools, optics and military treasures and was able to save this hammer. What you see is only a darkening of the metal, waxed and down to the clean metal now! I have been using this to tune for a few years and really liked it, im not a nylon hammer guy
