Hammer file (was: Old Packard upright)

[Gordon Holley]

Thanks Scott.  Susan was refering to a tool she purchased from Hale 
which she believes may be off the market.  She took pictures of the 
hammer file and e-mailed them to me.  I'll be able to duplicate the 
tool in my shop.  Regards, Gordon Holley
