Condition:
Antique maul or mallet in good used condition with wear from age and use. Over 100 years old with age-related wear and weathering. Age-splits, separations and losses in wood, as shown. Metal bands have separated from center head, but still firmly attached and stationary. Concave ends are worn from a hundred years of hard work and use. Tool still packs a solid punch. Wonderful primitive pounding tool.
