Up for sale is an unusual vintage long steel hand tool with a turned wooden handle. Features: A long, thin, rigid steel shaft ending in a notched, slightly sharpened tip. Potential Uses: Ideal for lamp rewiring, snagging wire through narrow channels, cleaning boiler/flue tubes, or specialty woodworking/mortising. Condition: Used vintage condition. Shows normal signs of age, light surface oxidation, and wear from past use. The tool remains solid, sturdy, and fully functional. DISCLAIMER / ITEM IDENTITY: Please note: The exact original manufacturer, age, and specific purpose of this tool are unknown. It appears to be an older specialty tool—possibly used for lamp making, wire pulling, boiler/pipe cleaning, or niche woodworking. We don't know its exact function and are offering educated guesses based on its design, so please examine all photos closely before bidding.
