Any guesses? They are corn shuckers that belonged to my farming ancestors of Halifax Co, Va. I correctly guessed their use on the first attempt, however, watch the next post. That tool wasn't as easy.
I've used the Iowa-Nebraska variety, in my younger days, to see what it was like, in the "olden days" - not that long ago. Great artifacts. Anxious to see that next post! Thanks for posting these!
Keep these ancestor stories coming!
