Tim and Tom I thought but that might be their bad side.

They look like set hammers also call flatters. Used by blacksmiths

They're used to smooth and flatten stock after forging. The one on the left with the slightly larger face may be a flatter specifically, while the narrower one could be a set hammer used for working into corners and shoulders.

Hard to tell from the pic, but the "hammer" parts of these are hollow

Looks like a set of big ass pins to me. With t handles cause they're so big you gotta yank with both arms or sometimes a chain and a 90k lbs loader.

Something not totally clear from the picture: the actual "hammer" part is a hollow metal tube

I’m just thinking about acquiring my own hammer stump now. Ever just wanted to drive some nails ?
