There is a photo of a tool on my site that has an anchor symbol on it,
I was hoping that someone here might be able to tell me if this is
some type of boating tool or not, it's number 151 on the site below:

Longshoreman's hook.

I could see a cargo hook of some sort, like for bundles of flax, henp
or other baled material, but the handling hooks used by longshoremen
of the time had less of a curve and usually a wooden or iron T handle.

I would think this would be hard to handle.

All the best,

Tom

Looks like a hoof pick to clean out a horses foot.


It turns out that this is the correct answer, the anchor was probably a
symbol from the manufacturer and not related to its use. Thanks for the
replies.
