I don't know about Sicilian but it's a cobbler's hammer. Bear in mind that these hammers are used to pull and pound leather around forms and to set stitching, not to hammer tacks or nails. Supposedly you can polish the face and it won't stain or abrade leather but I've not found that necessary.

ReplyDeleteI imagined a cartoon farmer nailing a horse shoe onto a horse with that cartoon hammer.
ReplyDeleteWhy is a farrier not called a horse cobbler?
ReplyDeletewhy, because of the metric system?
