Thanks Darren we must stop the meeting of our minds like thisI agree
Your right to think museum pieces but they are part of a boat building exhibit these and many other tools were donated by an old employee s wife after he died thats where i got the idea caulking the exibition is not up and running yet so im helping my daughter find out answers Im up north and shes darn sarfyup
I reckon not caulking tools
could well be small bark spuds, eg used by tanners to get the oak bark full of tannin for leather (I also had a mystery tool here a week or so ago that could have been a barking spud) - there were many different shapes according to size of tree, species and how the bark stuck to the inner tree
or well worn and allowed to rust speciality chisels for such as the clogs much used in the mills of Manc or even up to the 80s, the steel works of Sheff
looks like a museum number and packing - is this a curator enquiry? (but some museums won't take anything with worm holes, just in case)
I still can’t see anythingThanks Darren we must stop the meeting of our minds like this
