Rare Antique Art Deco Watchmaker and Jeweler's Six-Sided Octagon Bronze Anvil Tool. This tool, used for metal dapping and pounding, measures approximately 3 3/4 inches in depth and 3/8 inch thick. Originally designed for craftsmen, it features a flat combo design with doming and staking surfaces on two sides. While it was an essential tool for goldsmiths and metalworkers—used to shape and form metal from a flat piece into a curved shape—it has now been creatively repurposed as a decorative display dish or ashtray. Jewelers rarely part with these custom designer tools, making this an incredibly rare item. Dapping Block Designer Doming and Staking Tool This tool is indispensable in jewelry making, used for shaping and forming metal. It has two sides: one with a range of half-sphere depressions of varying sizes and the other with flat surfaces and various grooves. It’s perfect for creating rounded or domed forms, concave shapes, and textured patterns on metal. For effective use, a set of doming punches or a mallet is necessary for hammering the metal into the depressions.
