Antique Tree Pruner/Fruit Tool

Antique Tree Pruner/Fruit Tool

My sister walks her little dog every morning. A neighbor a few houses down gave her this and said give it to your brother. She told her it was a fruit tool. Now imagine my sister walking her little dog and carrying this 10 ft tool..lol!

To me it looks like a tree pruner and i have a modern version.. But my brother in law grew up in Oregon and says they used a similar tool with a basket below to harvest fruit. I have seen the other style harvest tools. It's going to be a garage hanger.
