    This is about 14 inches long. It is heavy weighing about 2 pounds. Any idea what it might have been used for and when? IMG_20221110_132526412_HDR.jpg IMG_20221110_132542199_HDR.jpg IMG_20221110_132631695_HDR.jpg

    Yes, that one is almost the same exact size. Thank you both!

    You have a handmade coal shovel, very nice, looks old but no idea if it really is or not. I used a commercial one (such as shown in Debora's link) to clean out my fire stove when I was young and wood was my only source of heat! :)

    Handmade, how interesting. Lots of integrity in that little piece. But two pounds! Couldn't have been easy to wield, especially when full.

    Sorry, didn't mean to alarm you! There was a spam post on your thread and I reported it to the moderator for removal. I then added "Reported." below so that other members knew it had been reported and didn't have to contact the moderator again.
