Clifftop 167 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 On another forum i visit the question was raised what is this tool.Nobody knows the answer not even the owner who found it at the back of his shed while having a clean out. In the second photo he has added a handle and thinks this is how it would look when being used. He's only guessing of course. general opinion is that it was used on the railways. So anybody have any ideas. Cheers Fred my mind not only wanders-- sometimes it leaves completely. Updated 7/3/09 http://sites.google.com/site/pomfred/ Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Davison South Wales 1 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I would have said Rob has hit the nail on the head. A device for lifting items on chains etc onto and off high hooks.

LittleSusy 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) If you turn it the other way up, and sharpen the inside edge .. Lopping tree branches ? (By hook or by crook). Or sharpen the outside edge ... A whale blubber knife ? Edited January 28, 2009 by LittleSusy Link to post Share on other sites

barry luxton 537 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not a knife for cutting or lopping, i'm going to guess it's something to do with assisting the filling hose for steam trains. It's old of course. Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted. New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are.. Link to post Share on other sites
