==DESCRIPTION==

Up for sale is an unusual vintage tool from American Logging Tool Co. It features a long 3 1/2" width flat steel blade that is bent into a curved ramp shape. The blade has no bevel at either end. It is secured to a cast steel socket base with three large rivets. A wooden handle similar to those found on a timber framing slick is held in place with a screw going through the hollow socket. 23" long overall. Weighs 3lb.

"American Logging Tool Co. is cast into the socket base. A raised "SSS" on the socket may indicate a model or the quality of the steel used. No idea what its purpose may have been.  Some suggested a bark spud or a modified scoop for ash or saw dust. I even contacted a couple of logging museums in the US, and no one at either could give a positive identification.

==CONDITION==

Great condition with only minor cosmetic wear. The wood handle is secure in the socket. An unusual piece.
