After careful inspection it should be known this hammer is NOT original. It might be NOS from the warehouse of Corvette America but it sure ain't from GM.
I quote from the NCRS judging guide... "1966 Corvette Technical Information Manual and Judging Guide" "Cars equipped with the optional quick take off (knock-off) wheels, option P48, have a lead headed hammer found under the retainer with the jack assembly. The hammer, except the lead head, is painted semi-gloss black. Original lead hammers were NOT welded at the conjunction of the head of the handle." I can clearly see this handle and head welded together. It is not original.

I think over the counter service replacement GM lead hammers were welded, while production line ones were not. Another example of why NOS doesn't always mean "correct".
