Up for sale is a classic American-made True Temper "Razor-Back" Size 2 shovel, produced by the Union Fork & Hoe Co. This is a rugged, industrial-grade tool featuring the famous "Backbone" construction—a reinforced center spine designed for maximum strength during heavy prying and digging.

Condition Details:

• Blade: Solid steel with a clear "Razor-Back" stamp. Shows a natural aged patina and surface oxidation consistent with age, but the metal remains thick and structurally sound.

• Stamping: Highly legible maker's marks including "Union Fork & Hoe Co," "Razor-Back," "Heat Treated," and the "Size 2" designation.

• Handle: Original wood shaft with a steel-reinforced D-handle and wooden grip. The wood shows weathering and a beautiful silvered grain but remains sturdy with no major cracks or wobbles.

• Utility: While it has a great "farmhouse" or "industrial" aesthetic for decor, this is a high-quality tool that is still fully functional and built to outlast modern equivalents.
