John Rohner Tribute Hammer

Scratchmo · Apr 12, 2016

I just read the thread about Mr. Rohner's birthday and thought it would be a good time to post pictures of the hammer I engraved for his collection.

I treated the face of the hammer like a hobo nickel and carved his profile. I know it's not the best likeness but he was nice about it

The wording around the perimeter of the face reads; "HIS INVENTION RETIRED THIS HAMMER" Thanks to Scott Pilkington for the photos.

John has many unique and fine engraved hammer heads in his collection. This is from Ron Landis is certainly one of the most outstanding ones and truly represents the art of the artist who engraved it. .

Ron, all good things come in due time, and this is one of them. Beautiful work that expresses the sentiments of many, a true labor of love.

Very nice work, and a very thoughtful gift

One more shot of the other side. Since he is the R in GRS, I did their logo in a way that would spotlight that.
