    AnythingOb…
    (1778 items)

    These two are the 'newest' (to me, that is) both being recently found as 'you want that, take it!' items. [and of COURSE I did?!! <lol>]

    Shown on a pickup truck tailgate for size reference, the larger one has one totally typical nail-pulling sorta hook end, but its other end is squared with a thru-hole (instead of a typical flattened 'pry-bar' shape) suggesting some other kind of something might have been meant to attach to it.

    The second smaller one sorta strikes me as a 'tire shop tool' but I don't know that for sure either. One of its ends is tapered round, the other is more typical 'pry-bar' shaped.

    Neither have any markings that I've been able to find.

    SUGGESTIONS MORE THAN WELCOMED, if any of y'all 'tool guys' recognize 'em as anything?!! :-) :-) :-)

      One on the left is a podger spike/bar. Normally used for lining up pipe flanges prior to bolting up.

      One on the right is a "crowbar" or wrecking bar.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH Onedtent for the ID of the smaller tool -- I would have never guessed *that* on my own?! :-) :-) :-)

      The only thing still bothering me about the bigger "crowbar/wrecking bar" is the way its (non-hook) end is otherwise squared off, again as if something(s) else was intended to be attached to it. Some variety of an actual 'pry bar' shaped thing, maybe a longer length of handle, maybe some kinda wrench thing...I dunno -- it just doesn't strike me that kind of shape for that end of the tool (by itself) would be particularly useful in itself as a usual crowbar...?

      THANKS also to everyone else (I'm way behind in all sorts of general "THANK YOU'S" around here for everything else lately, so won't try to list y'all by name right now) for the <love it> button taps in the meantime!! <smile>

      Probably had a handle. Made of wood ...possibly rotted off, if wasnt stored properly. And by the condition of the metal..I think that's a good guess.
