spike?

[davesx]

Here is a resent find,
It is brass, 5ins long, hand made with a very sharp point and would have had a wooden handle.
the pointed end is round and 31/4 ins long.


Any ideas?
Dave.

I wonder if it was not part of a log Peavy?

I don't think a brass peavey would last very long rolling logs.

I think it's more likely a small hand tool, maybe for leather work.

It could be a marlin spike used on a boat do you live near the coast?

Totally missed the fact it is brass....your right!!!

Does the non spike end appear pounded on? Where was it found? Story always helps.

I kinda figured that kuger. If anyone knows their tools, it's you. You don't usually miss IDing any.

This is a tough one. It does not look like anything or part of anything I have or have seen.
A spar is as good of a guess as any.b

The non spike end has been pounded on, I found it in a stubble field.
