steven newman Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Staple puller, to pull staples out of fence posts. Then, you can use the side of the head to drive a new staple in. Dadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case one snaps off while you are out riding the fence line. Maybe this was made before the "Fencing Pliers" came out? Besides, made a good self-defense weapon.... After all, these are just...pliers.. Utica 1932 - 10-1/4" From Utica NY, USA Dad's pliers. The "hook " was more for digging into a post.. Staple puller, hammer, two sizes of wrenches, two sizes of wire cutters. Cowboy all-in-one tool. Wrench part was also to splice wires together. Edited December 2, 2016 by steven newman John Morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the wire twisters at the bottom, we had several of those for fixing the fences, handy tool. My first thought was a staple puller too. I remember that they used a lot of malleable iron staples in he wooden wagons and horse drawn equipment made out of oak. They were large staples and I was thinking maybe this hammer was to remove them for repairs. Herb steven newman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Could be a tool for rotating timbers, probably at a sawmill mill or at a work site when cutting the joinery for post and beam construction. Just a wild guess. Edited December 3, 2016 by It Was Al B add info steven newman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Dudelston Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I think Newman is close to the truth here. It looks like a staple puller to remove staples from a shipping crate. I'd guess it is double sided for no other reason than ease of use and speed. Dadio and steven newman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Allen Jones Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Since I have dealt in hardwood sales and before the idiot stick for finding BF it was used to turn the board up on edge for easier handling. Some timbers are hard to pick up without it. steven newman, Cal and Stick486 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
