Old Grain Scoop with Make Do Welded Spike Adaptation carved devil dating to 1920 or soI'm always happy to find objects, and tools especially, that were altered by someone along the way for a specific purpose, as was clearly the case with this old scoop, to which a series of sharp spikes were welded, transforming it into a singular and much more aggressive sort of object! I believe the scoop itself was made for grain, but, as if found it coated in soot, am thinking the spikes may have been added for stoking and scooping out a fireplace?
