Contributing Member Denise Posted March 29, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted March 29, 2010 The end with a rasp could be used as a float, a rasp to file down the sharp points on a horse's teeth. No idea what the other end is so it may or may not be an old dental instrument for horses. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 29, 2010 Moderator Report Posted March 29, 2010 Paul Krause or one of the other bootmakers might have a better idea than me. I have seen similar tools in shops that boot makers used to cut and rasp pegs inside shoes and boots from pegged construction. Quote

It is a shoemakers tool for rasping the pegs inside a pegged shoe. / Knut Quote
