Odd Tool & ???

Indian Steve · Mar 26, 2013

Howdy All, I found these metal detecting at an old house site. Also found lots of cast iron, farm equipment parts and T model Ford parts. The tool is hand forged with the spike part being welded into the handle hole. Spike is also twisted and is wrapped with a small band at the handle. Other piece is brass and i have no idea what it is.

Howdy All, Just checking out some previous post and found out the Brass piece is a Ford model T throwout bearing holder. Thanks to Cannonballguy for hid ID on the other post. steve
