Bill Houghton - His poem, not hers. Alfred Joyce Kilmer was an American poet. He was killed in the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918. While "Trees" is arguably his best known work, he did publish other poems before his untimely death.

Do you suppose his Tree had a wood pecker?  Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.

That description seems plausible to me.

Turnnut has found the answer!

Nice attempt ..... but, I don't think so.  :rolleyes:
A "pick" handle would never fit this, more like a 3 lb hammer handle.
Look at the size comparison in the photo with the other tool.

More research required.

Thanks,

Hello, Wallhopper. The overall weight might give a clue.

May be another catalog somewhere that includes this tool ?
This is all I could find.
I agree turnnut, looking like a masons tool of some sort.

Maybe for separating slate ? ? ? or other "layered" types of stone ? ? ?  :rolleyes:

Appears to very, VERY few items posted on this forum that truly stump the historians.
Looks like this might be one to add to (or start) a list.  :cheesy:

Might consider offering a reward.  :grin:

Thanks for ALL of you efforts,
