Help with what this 1919 tool is?
 

Maybe 30" long. Found in a storage unit. Frog gigger? Pry bar? Tire tool? Go/No-go tool?

2nd pic is distorted looking. Just a wooden handle.

Weed puller.

If the handle is original might be worth more than the $10 this one went for.

Google "antique dandelion puller", and you will see a bunch of them.

You should tell Bob the thing he is referring to as a handle in the pic is not a handle.

Which BTW, I said, if the handle is original.

Could have been shortened or replaced with a shorter one at some point in time.

That is something that happens with wood handled tools.

Or quite possibly, there were options for different lengths.

But there is most definitely a handle.

Thanks guys. One handed weed pulling while standing on your knees would be easier with the shorter handle?

Try it on some weeds.

Will do in the AM.

Works great except you need two hands on the handle lifting to pull the weed. Awkward if you are down on your knees.

Longer handle while standing seems better?

Yea, 2-4-D is a lot faster and easier! ;)

At my very first house I spent several hours pulling dandelions and other weeds by hand. A few days later I swear they were re-incarnated.

I went with the chemical option. Better life with chemistry.

That weed puller is a neat wall hangar for display.
