Answer from Kovels: It’s a hat iron with a pyramid form and wooden handle.
I believe this is a garden spade, or dandelion digger to remove dandelion roots deep down.,
It’s an iron.
Parmesan Cheese knife or breaker
Mzgti2u sounds like she knows what she’s talking about! My first guess was a tool to poke holes in SOFT ground to plant bulbs in your garden. Other than that, I have no idea what this is used for, but a milliner tool sounds good to me! What material is the white pointed part? Does look like it has lint on it!
It looks like a bulb planter.
Looks to me like your average garden trowel. They’re also used in bricklaying and archaeology.
Hard to tell, but the pointy end is triangular in shape, and composed of whetstone material. It’s only 4” long, so it’s apparent its intended purpose is tight work, and that work includes sharpening serrated knives and crosscut saws. As a failed carpenter, I constantly needed to sharpen my saw since I often had to cut the boards more than the recommended once.
Bonsai tool?
Oyster knife
I can’t tell how wide the blade is, but it kinda looks like a cheese knife.
This is very unusual as was last week’s post.
I would have guessed some sort of masonry tool.
However, I happen to have a friend who’s a milliner.
This is a hat iron.
Vintage sealing iron
I would have to say a garden trowel or tool of some sort. No respectable family would have a wooden handled dinner impliment.
