      Boot scraper for cleaning mud, etc. off your boots/shoes.
    2. relleomffej, 7 years ago
      That was my second thought based on the shallow teeth and the heft.

      Thanks,

      Jeff

      P.S. Jeff- I've also seen these tools identified as fish scalers. I guess they would work for that but I know they are used to clean muddy boots. Finding a catalogue advertisement would be the way to be 100% sure what the manufacturer intended them to be.
    4. relleomffej, 7 years ago
      That's a thought also.

      Thanks, Jeff

      1 & 2? Cleaning muddy Horse shoes or maybe the 3rd too, Wonder if a old Sears Roebuck catalog has them.
