🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Shovel head or something else ??

[Dismal Swampy]

Looks like the head of a small coal shovel except the lip is inverted. Could it be a curry comb
Found on an old dairy farm.

maybe a gate for a grain bin or manure trough.

I'll take :something else for a guess.

Too thin for a shovel.
I think its part of an old spatula..

 

[Mud Hut]

It looks like an old battery platform with the end guard lip partially rotted away.

I think its some kind of door/gate. The "handle" is a part of a self locking latch. Maybe from a small wood stove?
Example of gate latch:

What are you thinking ?
You have helped me with some of my other finds so I would enjoy hearing your thoughts

Reminds me of a curry comb.
But I don't see any remains of rivets or holes for rivets...

That's what I was thinking as well

Curry comb looks right but how about a foot rest or pedal? That shaft certainly goes into wood though. Just thinking outside the box.

Could be a boot scraper ??

pretty certain not a shovel…..no place to put your foot on the back/top. I know Raleigh isn’t known for its winter weather, but looks similar to an ice (or sod) cutter, or potentially some type of scraper
