Honey dipper shovel...I think!

[JOETHECROW]

My elderly neighbor has a shovel alot like that ....he claims his dad would clean out the 'septic' with it..... Joe

the handles a little over 6' long

The only other use I can think of for it would be to feed a hot furnace with coal.

Whatever it was used for, It`s a very cool find![]

The shovel was used to scrape the sides. A dipping bucket was used to get the major portion of the......poopy doo out. I can see saving the shovel maybe but the bucket would have to go.

I bet it was also used to create that large pile of pretty shards =)

I am going to clean it up make it purty and try to bring out the color in the oak handle. I don't think a wire brush and some oil to the shovel part will hurt. I'm going to hang it on my wall.........
