This Vintage Railway Firing Coal Shovel is a unique piece of hardware railwayana that hails from Wales, United Kingdom. With a rich history and connection to steam locomotives. Used for smaller engines Snowdonia or slate industrial use this antique tool is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of railwayana. Its classic design and use in the railway industry add to its charm and appeal to those looking to appreciate the nostalgia of vintage railway equipment. This is made by a blacksmith for use on a steam engine. It was made to fit the chute and then into the fire box. The provenance I was told by the very elderly previous owner was it was made locally in Wales for use on a Welsh Steam Engine. If you need it posted I will need your postcode to get a price.
