    Bought these almost a week ago, sold as a purple aussie hammer and a multicolored aussie hammer. Not sure if there is a way to tell if they are Australian or not but I am pretty sure the multicolored one is a frogspawn and not a hammer.

    So they are both hammers? The green one has multiple ends on each stalk though I thought that meant frogspawn?

    its tough to tell, it might be a frog that hasn't opened up yet. from that pic I am thinknig it could be either.
