    I'm having trouble identifying this old hand tool. What it's called, what it is (was) used for? I've had a few "best guesses", just want to know what it is for sure.

      They were made to get the weeds out of the cracks in sidewalks. Very common tool.

      Could be a "lead wiping" tool. Does it have any lead on the end ?
