Looks like a dip stick to me (i.e. sheep dipping stick).

Definatly concede to that :)

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..

Sheep dipping stick, we have a few sheep out here, i think someone would have picked that up straight off.. Not ruled out tho but not at the top of the list.

 

Chesters1 this is the reply from your link.

 

Sorry you have me stumped, never seen anything like it, I have looked through my catalogue, no reference to anything similar.

 

The top looks like it would slot over, so the pole you have it sitting on would continue up through the cut away cap – otherwise why not make it solid.

 

The other place you could try is Taths

 

 

 

http://www.taths.org.uk/

 

 

 

The Tools and Trades History Society (TATHS)

 

 

 

They might be able to help, although it might be something more specific to Australia

 

I will keen looking, but you have me stumped – sorry

 

I am now waiting for a reply from five bellies and Taths.

 

will keep you posted. Chesters1 you may find Taths interesting.

 

 

Cheers Fred

Not if the wooden staff was a tight fit, split at the end, and a wedge inserted...like a proper axe or hammer.

Let's review the evidence:

 

I think the pole position is most likely correct

Why is the iron part so substaintial?

Why two rings securing it to the pole?

Why was the 'blade' made so thin?

 

So it seems likely the tool is to push across or up some item that is fairly heavy (hence the substantial build), and yet there is limited access (hence the narrow 'blade'). I can't see such a complicated design being needed to move hanging baskets, and in all honestly, it seems a bit too robust to be a dip stick. The 'hook' is facing the wrong way to be a railway shunting pole...hmmm, curiouser and curiouser...

Oh how could I have been so stupid, is it something Gordon Brown keeps in the Labour cupboard to help prop up the UK economy?

From it's handle fitting it looks like the tool was fixed and the item was brought to it for paring or cutting. melons, coconuts cabbages perhaps.

My mate recons it could be the end of a switch stick used for reaching under a old style electric loco and reseting a blown main motor breaker. It isnt exactly like what he has used before himself as there are state differances in train type.

Someone once said to me "Dont worry It could be worse." So I didn't, and It was!
