The same could be said about the meteorite "coins" that seems so
popular. I'm a meteorite collector and a coin collector but all I see is
a way to get big bucks for cheap material, close to a scam in my view.
... but that is of course my view and my view only.
Feel free to buy expensive meteorite "coins" with all of your hard
earned cash, I will get my true meteorites cheaper with less competition.

Hmm,
honestly I never was aware the last decades that this category "hammer" had
any meaning or importance.
Of course Peekskill car, was a curiosity like Claxton. But people were
buying Barwell, cause it was Barwell and Mbale, cause it was Mbale and it
was only a funny side note, that a pea hit the head of a boy and
Kunashak...but Kunashak virtually nobody was buying :-)
Also in the classical meteorite books you won't find any category: hammers.
So I'm astonished about that hype and that collectors suddenly since 2-3
years are paying triple to tenfold prices for the same falls than all the
decades before.
Walter, Walter, what have you done :-)
Best!

I think to be considered a hammer the meteorite needs to hit a human-made
structure, like a building or car. Seems to me that many have taken the term
and bastardized it to the point where it has lost its true meaning and
interest (at least to me).
