Odd Tools

[Visey]

Hi all,

I come across some weird hand tools in my sojourns and wanted to share a few. I have some ideas of what they are but I am not sure. The closeup is of the only writing on a 5 ft 26 pound octagonal crowbar that I believe is a railroad gandy. No luck on the inscription though. Any theories?

The tool in the fourth picture looks like a cheese sampler to me! Used for cutting a ‘plug’ from a cheese to check how it’s progressing!

I’ve seen ‘em in use, but then the U.K. probably makes more cheese than some places!

Suspect it’s a bit specialised in some countries!

Thanks Dave! That sounds delicious!

Dave is correct on the cheese sampler. They have them in use at the local vineyards here when they have wine and cheese festivals.

The wheaton is probably associated with fuel oil trucks.
