    Anyone know what these are, the handles are upto 7 feet long and I have a lot of them.

    It was suggested they might be for drawing mud from ditches.

    I really don't know but it looks like something a mason would use to me. Just my opinion of course.

    Interesting.Don’t know. I would also think for cleaning out drainage or irrigation lines/channels (those half-pipe open ones)

    I'm still with dragging mud from ditches.

    The poles are very long.

    I've got dozens of them from the latest clearance, along with 50 two man logging saws, about 40 scythes.

    Iron wheeled seed sowers and iron ploughs.

    They appear to have been purchased from an agricultural auction about 30 years ago and stored in the upstairs rooms of an unrenovated cottage.

    I wonder if they are not for shaping concrete gutters/curbs? Boy, you sure are lucky!
