<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallCakes, post: 11025040, member: 107&quot;]found on facebook:</p><p><br /></p><p>Era (1800&#039;s) early 1900&#039;s Hawsing Iron. The Head on this Tool can be Rotated in 4 different positions.Vintage hawsing iron is 26&quot; long with 3 5/8&quot; blade 1/8 to 1/4&quot;&quot; thick. Chisel is 6&quot; long and head 1 5/8&quot;. Good condition all original no repairs, cracks or breaks.</p><p>Information I found on this item:</p><p>On large ships with heavy hardwood planking like Gazela, an additional step is normally done to drive the caulking tighter, known as hawsing. For this process a large caulking iron attached to a long steel handle is guided down the seam, while a second person repeatedly whacks the iron with an oversize mallet known as a beetle.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANTIQUE SHIPWRIGHT HAWSING FORGED IRON DECK CAULKING TOOL 1800&#039;s</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/542616227_24858995637017650_5595091869485628810_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s960x960_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=100&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=aa7b47&amp;_nc_ohc=GO502lnYv-YQ7kNvwGgVJMK&amp;_nc_oc=AdlIkRcoB_tJWw3pxA0JXLbTgD5PeIheBSEInQxxZBjVWB5gBQRNqQVmG_-yvvR9yOWukzQDtlTI9ltvQePzA5iN&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&amp;_nc_gid=GbXn5cATxDsn-KPwlndVbw&amp;oh=00_Afb6cdvPYDPm4-wY43IjgXe7X-JVVE8GjaWf21OlHSqA7Q&amp;oe=68C51B56" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/542454757_24858995630350984_8767616278600121283_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p180x540_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=103&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=aa7b47&amp;_nc_ohc=EvcBhzXa91UQ7kNvwHzcQPq&amp;_nc_oc=AdlkD-_L83cuKLCtybPLRHeQIgrhjBf7frHKGANmr3zRXJhoa6MXXC_Yv1oGJ3E1L0YARZEe-mtCEjqsyMXzufea&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&amp;_nc_gid=2dPcCD7FTitapBMXiSgoDg&amp;oh=00_AfZf4we9chG3gjxg6ZatcJt-W-gBq6Nv6TsYP7TKm6PFNQ&amp;oe=68C52537" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/126386227527297/posts/3108066912692532/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/126386227527297/posts/3108066912692532/" rel="nofollow">Hampton Area Yard Sale | Era (1800&#039;s) early 1900&#039;s Hawsing Iron | Facebook</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
