A fine 1:5 scale model of the steam hammer patented by John Haswell in 1853 is on display at Vienna Technical Museum. The hammer was made at the Maschinenfabrik der Wien-Raaber Eisenbahn, where Haswell was the Director.

The machine bears a very close resemblance to that patented by John Condie in 1846. Presumably subtle differences were incorporated.

Some of the operating components are missing, including the two levers used by the operator.
