I heard back from Ampco today. The best they could say is that is pre 2001, because that's when they switched over to the fiberglass handle and new flashy paint scheme. They don't stamp their tools with production dates, so there is no way determine that. So, bottom line is that it's a nice heavy al...

It's aluminum bronze, see the lower photo. Now you have a real nice, non-sparking hammer. They don't make them like that any more............. http://ampcosafetytools.thomasnet.com/category/hammers Yup, aluminum bronze, not copper. I saw the ALBR on the side, and still thought brass.

These are .035 parts for Millermatic M-10 / M-15, and Hobart H-9 / H-10. Just send me a message with an addr...

Welcome! I too, am new. I'm currently having an intense love affair with aluminum, and a CK 17f torch.

Greetings all!

New member here. I look forward to heated discussions that devolve into profanity, petty insults and name calling.
