As found on "that auction site" - this HTF and interesting hammer adds to my Cheney Fascination. Removed the handle (quite loose) added a wood and then a metal wedge. Not if this is or is-not original handle.

Cheney Machinists' Ball Pein hammers were included in the toolkits of Pierce Arrow automobiles. They put the Pierce logo on the right handed side, where the Cheney markings would normally be placed. The Cheney markings are from 1917-1925. Pierce went out of business in 1938. It appears that there were at least two sizes — 12 oz. and 16 oz.
HMS Arrow was a Type 21 frigate of the Royal Navy.
Arrow was active during the Falklands War of 1982, where she provided naval gunfire support (NGFS) and rescued most of the surviving crew from HMS Sheffield. She was sold to Pakistan on 1 March 1994 and renamed PNS Khaibar.
Built by Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd, Glasgow, Scotland, she was completed with Exocet launchers in 'B' position. Arrow was commissioned on 28 July 1976.
By the mid-1980s Arrow was suffering from cracking in her hull. Much of this had first arisen during the Falklands conflict, when engineers were obliged to weld steel plates and girders to parts of the ship where cracks were opening up in the aluminium superstructure. After the war, she was taken in for refitting, with a large steel plate being welded down each side of the ship. At the same time modifications were made to reduce hull noise.
The vessel continued in service until 1994, and was decommissioned and removed from the fleet on 1 March that year.
Following decommissioning Arrow was transferred to Pakistan and renamed PNS Khaibar. The Exocet missile system was not transferred to Pakistan and Khaibar had her obsolete Sea Cat missile launcher removed. A Phalanx CIWS was later fitted in place of the Sea Cat launcher. SRBOC chaff launchers and 20 mm and 30 mm guns were fitted. Khaibar remains in service with the Pakistan Navy, who purchased from the United Kingdom Government all six surviving Type 21 frigates of the eight originally built (two were lost in the Falklands).

I did try and find something not quite so obvious as arrow(s) on road signs or road for this clue but did not..
Nice idea but most of the traffic ignores these signs and go straight across the mini-roundabouts.
"You know, Dig, when I confront somebody on The List, I tell them that they have failed this city. But tonight it was me who failed."
This is a Pierce Arrow (thank you, Whitebeard!). :o) The man who owned it had a collection of cars worth millions (insert Dr. Evil Face here). He had recently passed away and his family wanted to get rid of all of the cars. I got to photograph them all for the newspaper I work for. :)
The Red Arrows were out for the balloon fiesta before the accident a couple of weeks later which claimed the lives of one of the pilots.
The devils arrows or bolts are 3 standing stones which sit next to the A1 at Boroughbridge by the river Ure. It is thought that there were originally 5 stones. (Alternative Names: Three Grey Hounds, Three Sisters)
The stones are composed of millstone grit and it is suggested that they date from around 2,700 BC and was carried here from Knaresborough. The lightest one weighs over 25 tons and stands 5.5m high. The 2 tallest stones measure almost 7m high.
The name Devil's Arrows is thought to date from the end of the 17th century when people believed that walking 12 times around the stones anti-clockwise would raise the Devil!
There are several legends about the stones associated with the Devil. The most popular legend is that these stones are the Devil’s crossbow bolts. He was aiming for the Christian settlement of Aldborough from Howe Hill but fell short by a mile.
Another is of how the grooves were made in the stone, which were actually made by centuries of erosion. The story is that the Devil tried to hang his grandmother but she struggled so hard that the ropes cut into the stone. When she broke free he tied her to the next stone. This continued until he ran out of stones to hang her from.
Yet another legend tells of how a local Chief of the Brigantes tribe held a meeting to discuss the merits of the new Christian religion over the existing, but dying out, Druid system.
The Devil arrived in disguise to try to sway the people back to the old Pagan religion, but someone spotted his cloven hooves which were melting the ground beneath him. After being found out, the Devil flew off in a rage, leaving pillars of molten rock behind.
