Just a boring fur trade hoe found amongst the cool stuff. A few days in the tank and it came out looking good...for a hoe. IMG_20170726_225610.jpg IMG_20170726_225602.jpg

I'm quite certain the oldest profession predates the fur trade LOL

I wouldnt say that is boring. Awesome find.
Definitely in great shape the colonial tools I have Doug were just pure rust that thing almost looks like you could use it again

Man alive, I like your fur trade hoe find! It was a very practical item to get at the time too. A nice tool like that would beat mirrors and beads all hollow.

You beat me to the joke.

Seriously nice. That's a nicer design than what you can get at Home Depot.

That's actually true! This one is probably a million times the quality of anything made today. They don't make dem' hoes like they used to (my wife rolled her eyes because I just read that to her out loud).

Consensus is: Grown men like ol' hoes.
I'm liking it, and congrats on bringing it home and cleaning it up.

OK since everyone is jumping on the band wagon, Isn't the old profession a form of fur trade? Yeah I said it.
