560Dennis That is going to be tough to get a name for it. Wonder how long it was buried and how it got bent. Lynn

Was laying on top of the ground , guess it was fate ,I just reached down and picked it up. I asked as many people at the match if they lost it. ,
I got it soaking in household vinegar , might soften up the crude to see some Identifiable marks. I doubt it . Going to put in the plows tool box for good luck.
At least the combine won’t pick it up.

I have a few Utica Tools. They are prized for being very well made. It is very hard to find these anymore.

bmaverick I looked at their website and found this. Lynn

Q. Can I send you photographs to use on the site? I have some tools that aren't listed on Alloy Artifacts.
A. Thanks for your consideration,but our current policy is to use only tools in the Alloy Artifacts Collection for the website.


Keep in mind that we have a large backlog of tools to be added to the site,waiting for the alignment of our limited time and those elusive round-tuits.If you feel that the site could be improved by adding coverage for a particular tool,please let us know and we'll try to acquire the item (if it's not already here)and bump the priority on adding it.
