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 three times per year) the postal service increases the shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
