wolfshieldrx Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not the one with George's picture on it...the other one. Spark tests high carbon. Bought a small box full at estate sale. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Allyn Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Some sort of drift pin, perhaps? Does the tip come to a point like a nail or a blade like a chisel? Have you done a file test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Looks almost like a wedge to go with feathers for splitting stone. Big stone. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Harrow spike used to break up dirt clods after plowing. High Carbon to resist abrasion as in "The toad beneath the harrow knows exactly where each tooth-point goes" was the auction in farm country?

peacock Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Looks like harrow teeth to me. A harrow is a ground tillage tool used to break up clods of dirt and level/smooth the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfshieldrx Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I kind of suspected harrow tooth. Pointed four sides like a spike. Thanks. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhw Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I don't think that it is a harrow tooth- they are headless and have chizel-cut barbs on the top (unpointed end) to hold them in the wooden stock. It may be a stone mason's pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkunkler Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not all are headless and barbed. http://www.speeco.com/products.php?id=45&id2=52&prod=32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Good call DKlunker. Good sized harrie though. Post above you would be right too though. Ole timey wood harrie is different. I've pulled a 14' fold out for a few hours. Headed teeth but smaller than the ones starting this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
