In general they seem to be either 1.75 or 2" in diameter, dome headed, the 2" on 1" shafts and the 1.75 on around a 3/4" shaft---the large oval headed ones I'm keeping for myself.
Price will range depending on condition (as found ranging from "why the heck did they throw this one away??? to hmmm will take some grinding....$5-$2)---but I'm not likely to haul much of a selection unless someone is interested...
Generally I hot slit and drift the threaded end of the bolt to take a regular ball peen hammer handle and make a dishing hammer from them.
