Identification Help!

Hey everyone! I apologize if this is in the wrong section. But I was pondering around an old bottle/metal dump in my backyard. It's deep in the back woods behind my house. Today I found a piece that I believe is quite old. I've been googling answers as to what it is but I can't seem to find anything!

Any help is appreciated!

 

Hola, and welcome.
What fun! You can go treasure-hunting in your own back yard. Your pictures aren't coming through for me, unfortunately.

 

Hello, Dethan. Here is fine. But your pictures posted in the Gallery are apparently set to "private" so no one else can see them. It may be a setting at the Album level that's need to be changed.

 

Invisible here too.

 

Whoops! My bad! They should be public now...

 

What are the measurements? Knowing the size of an object helps a lot.
Is Workmaster a tool company, I wonder?
Off to Google!

 

Yup. They are. Now we can see, but in order to understand, we need the answers to some questions.

1. What are the dimensions?
2. Is it metal or wood or a combination?
3. The wide part at the "end" - does it look like something else went there?

And finally - how old do YOU think is "quite old?"

 

Looks like paint brush remnants to me and not all that old

 

New Holland makes a Workmaster tractor, but I don't know A) how long they have made them, and B) what this would have had to do with them.

 

There are also "Workmaster" wallpapering tools and a Stanley line called "Workmaster." But I didn't see anything with the same logo design.

 

20th C. Tool handle, plastic or what material?

 

That's what I was wondering as well - what is it made of?

 

Probably hard rubber

 

I think Terry is absolutely correct:

 

Well done, morgan94!

 

Great find, morgen!
