Vintage new old stock. I can\'t 100% verify the head material. Hackett most commonly make brass heads, but they also make copper heads too. This one looks to be copper as it does have a reddish hue when compared to other brass. The model is \"1.5\" cast in the head, but the dimensions seem to correspond to their 1CS (steel handle) model. That model is listed as 16 oz, but when I weigh this one, it seems more like 1.5 lbs than 1 lb. Handle has a textured grip. bit of surface rust from storage.
great for non-sparking applications or non-marring machining and assembly operations.
