<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 10671234, member: 76316&quot;]This tool is ~7 1/4&quot; long, of 5/16&quot; wire stock; the business end is almost 3/4&quot; wide, weight is ~4 oz. There are no marks on it. I may have shown it here, but probably not based on how deeply buried it was when it rolled to the top during my search for another item.</p><p><br /></p><p>The working end appears to have been formed mechanically, rather than by hand...but the loop-handle looks to have been done the old-fashioned way, with fire an&#039; hammer-skill. My guess is late 19th C.</p><p>It&#039;s one of those things I won&#039;t use...but cannot bear to part with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two of my mantras are 1) Function is Beauty, an 2) Form Follows Function. This sweetly simple tool epitomizes both, for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a show &#039;n&#039; tell, folks, an&#039; thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533326[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533327[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533328[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
