Interesting catalog, do you have any idea of what year it was put out?
Final thought on the tool.
For shaping Himalayan rock salt.

Here is another excellent reference to old tools. (prices subject to change without notice  :grin: )

https://books.google.com/books?id=mv8GAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA200&dq=%22brick+axe%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqiqvI9ePNAhUMWh4KHakjDl4Q6AEIMjAC#v=onepage&q=%22brick%20axe%22&f=false

A friend suggested that it could possibly be a curved version of a "brick axe" for hard to reach places but still no actual illustrations have been found.

The search goes on. Off to the Himalayas.  :wink:
