Guess what this is.

A friend gave this to me after church yesterday. I had no idea what is was until he let me read the words on it.
It was made in Galesburg, Illinois.
Ag-related. I actually could have used one when I was younger. I did the job without it.
Thought it might be fun to see.

We used to grab them by the tails and hang on. A 200 lb (or bigger) boar never wanted to be removed from the old mud hog lots.
