Description
From the sellerIn Photo 4 you can see the handmade cast iron closures created to hold the tool together sturdily (these small pieces of iron are irregular in size, indicating that they too were handmade). It was used for trimming or cutting pieces of slate, while the pointed end of the tool was for punching nail holes in slate.
