Antique Top Swage #12 plaque then explains the basic principlesOur "Antique Hammer #12" is not a hammer at all. It's called a top swage. It is a struck tool, meaning that it is set on top of the workpiece and held in place on the workpiece, while it is struck with a hammer from above. It is not used to strike anything, as a hammer is.
