They used a single jack hammer and a double jack hammer.
They drilled a hole and there was dynamite and they used that dynamite to blow it up.

The thing that is the same about the pictures is that they all are silver and from the the same century.And they are all made to serve tea. The thing that is different is they are different shapes and sizes.
