I recently returned from my girlfriend's grandmothers 100 year old dairy farm where we visited her 88 year old grandmother... She has been a collector for most of her life and has rooms filled with antiques which she knows absolutely everything about with the exception of a couple odd pieces that had even her puzzled... this being one of them.
I don't recall exactly how she came to own this piece but it may have been found at some point on the farm... I confused some of the many stories I was told through the course of the day... Anyway, I told her that I would ask the Tnetters what they thought since there are so many knowledgeable people here, it's the first place I thought of and well, everyone likes a good puzzle.
What I do know:
- It measures approx 18" long
- The curved handle is a bone from what I would assume, some type of animal
I'd like to not only figure out what exactly it is but also date it. I originally thought it may have been used to strip grain from a stalk or something along those lines
Thanks for looking! - Wit
