Maybe something for chopping or splitting wood.

To me, it looks like a tool from a pneumatic hammer, used to bust up concrete.

Stone cutting wedge?

 

[nhbenz]

Excavator tooth (I think).

 

[oooldman]

My thought is a older variation of scarifier or cultivator blade pulled behind horse or tractor to loosen dirt.

Excavator tooth (I think).

I think so too, tooth from a hoe :-)

I have never seen a male tooth?

Looks like a HUGE anvil piece

I agree, but in my fuzzy memory I'd thought we'd seen one like it and someone dug up a picture of an example...but I could be wrong.

....I too could be wrong....likely am!I beat enough teeth on,and off through the years but that doesnt mean I seen it all.A quick Google images search I seen something semi similar,but it was a catalog link....you would have to go through the whole catalog

This is a hot chisel, which is held in place with the cutting edge facing upwards by placing it in an anvil 's hardy hole. HH

Maybe a blacksmiths anvil insert cutting tool called a hardy.

 

[JOHUNT]

Look familiar? There must've been a blacksmith nearby. This is called an anvil hardy.


EDIT: While I stepped away to look it up, others suggested an anvil hardy. Good ID guys!
BTW here's a website that I found while looking this up, it shows alot of old farming tools/machinery. Just thought I'd share with ya'll. It looks like a perfect reference article for IDing old farm stuff. Glad I found it!

....I mentioned that above.....but that would be a huge anvil?She might have small hands too I guess?
I couldnt remember what they were called

Excavator tooth (I think).

That looks exactly like the ones on the front bucket of the backhoes.

That looks exactly like the ones on the front bucket of the backhoes.

All the equipment that I've seen/used had teeth that were either pinned or welded on. I see no pin/hole and a good weld won't just break.

exactly?Male?

pretty sure its been id'ed

 

[Holly_squirrel]

Ok , I'm Alil confused here. What's the consensus? And all the talk about it being male? What's that mean? I have to be honest I thought someone saying " I never seen a male one" was a joke about it being suggested it was a hoe.. Lol.
