I purchased this little tool at an estate sale recently and was told by the seller that her grandfather used it to scrape and pick horse's hoofs. She estimated it to possibly be from the 1930s. Now, I've never seen one of these before, so I'm trusting the information that she gave me.
There is no maker's info or other identifying marks. It measures 5.5 inches long. The round portion has a one inch opening. It has some rust and has built up a nice patina. I'll leave that for the next owner.
By the way, if anyone knows that this tool is not for the use stated, I'd appreciate knowing the correct usage.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Package from Arizona. The delivery charge will be $6.45.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either garage or estate sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
