Garden type tool belonging to a friend.  Does it have a name?   Would like to buy one but I don't know what to ask for.  Thanks.

I have seen these listed in old catalogs as gutter cleaners, used for cleaning out curb gutters.  I will have to try to find that reference.

brings back some childhood memories, lots of work during the summer months for kids with too much time on their hands!
