out at the beach

[unclemac]

Found it on the beach at a pioneer site I knew of and had no idea what this was so I showed to my 90 year old dad....he didn't skip a beat, knew exactly what it was right away. He had actually seen them used quite a bit in his youth. I'll bet a lot of you know too.....

Looks like an old soldering iron.

Me too.

All I know is that it's NOT a turkey baster.

I bet Jarl's right.

Very interesting find. Glad your Dad could ID it. I am throwing my guess in the bag. Is it a scoop for the famous Sky Scraper Ice cream cones

Soldering iron.

yep for all you who got soldering iron...dad took one glance and said "blacksmiths soldering iron" . His grandad used to own the drayage business (with wagons) in the small western town he grew up in and he would see such tools used all the time.
