DescriptionA boat scraper with a four-edged irregularly-shaped blade attached to a wooden handle via a metal rod of a hexagonal crossection. Rod and blade appear to be galvanised except at the edges, which happen to be oxidised. The unusual galvanisation on the tool suggests a personalised, inhouse construction. Handle appears to be beech with a spray-coated pommel. Engraved Harris Made in England.
