Can You ID This Tool?

Loggie. I have noticed that. There are so many shapes.

 

Yes, these are from Norfolk

 

Loggie, those are lovely examples you are showing there. I wondered ifoneof them wasn’t an edging tool though.

Here are a couple more views. You can see that the handle does not even reach her wst.


From the side.


The maker of the tool.


Anything else you can tell me about this tool?
I appreciate you telling me about this tool. I related your info to the lady and she was totally surprised an glad you could help.

She inherited the tool from her father and could not imagine how he came to have the it, as he would not have used it.

Thanks again so far.

 

Thanks for the pics, I've passed them on, on another forum site to see if they know anything and you're welcome.

 

I've had a reply and he said that they still trade but not that one. If you can email the pics on they could help you.
If you can ask the lady to email to this. Vintage Tools Limited Edition Sneeboer.
That's not a link, don't know how to do that.

 

Cheers Loggie.
I just wrote Sneeboer and sent piccies. Waiting to hear.
The Sneeboer company is just up ge road from me— about twenty or thirty minute rice.

A few years ago I went thereto look around, and wrote about it on here. Here is the link:

That's good let me know how you get on and thanks for the link, it was interesting.

 

Will do, Loggs.

 

I have surprising news, but no time to write it now. Seeya later……

 

Ok, look forward to later.

 

On the edge of our seats.

 

Sorry….I just need one more little of info. I will then translate the eMail and post it here. I am also looking for a youtube or old film to demonstrate it.
Hopefully tomorrow morning.

 

These posts reminds me of watching a short tv series which ends with a cliff hanger… watch next time..
for what happens next.

 

Look forward to it Sjoerd.

 

Part One—

BINGO! WE HAVE AN ANSWER! And all of us were wrong . Sorry I was tardy with the results, hope you enjoyed the cliffhanger.

During my search for the name and use of the tool; I ended up in Belgium, of all places— at the museum for older techniques: (Museum voor de Oudere Technieken www.mot.be). My e-mail query was promptly answered with a lot of information and a link to images from the historical society of the nearby village of Stede Broec.

OK, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It is NOT a peat cutter! It is a tulpenrodersschop. So there is the answer, I’ll leave it at that shall I.

To be continued...
