That hammer should bring some serious coin for you. I saw it when I would visit Leo. How much tooling does it have with it? I have a couple of those CP yokes/frames (pre- "hoops") but no more dies. (Kent)

Leo and the guys made a lot of skins. Dick Troutman told me he had Leo make the skins for the Scarabs because nobody could make them as well or as fast, anywhere else. Bill Honda told me that Leo made the skins for the first Monorail for Disneyland. HAC and Nethercutt got a lot of parts made there. Leo made stacks of Duesenberg fenders, over the years. I think he and Red built up a Bucciali there, too. Leo got started on those hammers at Cal Metal in 1934, so he got a good run before he was senior to just about everybody else. When I told him he was rated as the best "hammer" in the country, he stopped and thought for a moment, looked up at me and said, "Well, all the others are Dead!" He might have made the body for the Phantom Corsair ... I told Tim Barton about the Roll-A-Ball sitting in the back of the Hammer Room, and he went after the research on that with great results, as seen in one of his books. Leo, working on the double hammer - Yoder on the front, and a small Pett on the back. Leo and helper on double hammer.jpg Another lad who worked there and then went to work for Junior before starting his own shop, was Steve Alcala, who has become a first rate craftsman: Steve Alcala and the Tommy Lee car.jpg Steve found this Frank Kurtis-built custom as a pile of parts, and built it back up over many long years. This Tommy Lee hotrod had a custom engine built by Fred Offenhouser.... http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/feature...ind_of_hot_rod I'll look you up when I am down in Lost Wages, Steve. Looking forward to it. Let's see those hammers sell ....
