What Is This???? Have You @@ One

[JUNKYARD DOG]

Found this in a box of junk and tools I bought at a auction awhile back. Looks like some kind of tool to scribe or mark with. (maybe) (maybe not). Any input is very much appreciated. HH JYD.

Hoof pick, for cleaning horse's hoofs before shoeing
J-G

I agree that would be a perfect use for this tool... horses hooks are picked all the time if stabled... always before shoeing.

Not sure about the hoof picks. I'm thinking more like a sack hook or a reapers hook.

The hand grip seems to be shaped wrong if this tool was used to do any heavy lifting, like a
sack hook or a hay bale hook. I first thought it might be some type of draw-knife for shaping
but there is no sharp edge on the inside of the hook. Hoof hook seems as good a guess as any.

could that be for removing the caulking in the planks of a ship?

I think without an exact example I'd be hard-pressed to label this baby... obviously a tool that could do any number of things!

..Its a hook to replace a hand.. =) (Do they make those?)

Not sure if that's it but helluva good guess.

It's an old hay hook.

I think a hay hook is right, but that one may have been broken then resharpend to use for other things, or may have been cut if someone needed a bale hook to just roll bales off a conveyor.
