  1. @Rajiv This thing.

    It's very thick steel, and heavy. There is no sharp edge and never has been, all sides are flat and thick, including the angled tip.

    It has a turned handle, which is unusually fancy compared to all other tools in the barn. Its relatively short, maybe waist high.

    With the tip and the weight and the thick end (partially broken), I think maybe smashing a hole in the ice for fishing may have been what it was for.

    It's slightly crooked, which may have been from tool abuse as pry bar, or maybe it was made like that.

  5. Looking for a home for 2 beautiful #antique Chippendale mahogany breakfronts, located in #Philadelphia.

    These belonged to my Grandparents & I would like to find a home where they will be appreciated.

    Anything you can pay would help, and they need to be picked up as soon as possible.

    If you know anyone who might be interested, please share.
