2006.54.2Description
Three farm tools which were made in Sweden.
The first tool (2006.54.2.A) is mostly wooden and shaped like a pole, with the exception of the top, which has a brown metallic arrow that points to the right. This is a short metal rod with a large scoop at the end, with a long wooden handle mounted perpendicular or exactly upright or vertical to the rod. The tool appears to be for digging small holes, perhaps for plants or seeds.
The second (2006.54.2.B) is brown and made of wood and metal. At the base iss a wide, somewhat curving wooden log and reaching upward from the log part is a long metallic spoon-like device
The third (2006.54.2.C) has a brown, wooden, tree-trunk-like lower and main part and an upper part that is brown, metallic, shaped like a shield, and looking somewhat like the main parts of some cooking utensils which are used to grab fairly large portions of food. A mostly flat metal spade head, mounted on a wooden haft. A spade is a digging tool with a flat blade and long handle.Acquisition
