    What is this?! Concrete tool? Spear? Other drill or air hammer bit of some sort? It's iron and about 20" long.

      Hi,
      Saw something almost identical on this website ...

      anvilfire.com Anvil Gallery

      The two T-stakes above both have cylindrical arms of different sizes. Depending on the need this type of stake is made in various sizes and with different proportions. A Brazier is a brass worker and the name of something that holds a small fire. A Conductor is the large part at the top of a down spout.
      Pexto is an anagram from Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. Originally there was Peck, then Peck and Stow, then P.S.&W Co. Roper Whitney (Formerly Whitney Punch) now owns the Pexto trade name and sells a reduced line of their tools including stakes.
