Vintage PLOMB Garden Tool???

[hosspapa]

Does anyone recognize this Plomb tool? It is marked PLVMB with arrows on either end pointing down. My first thought was that someone had taken an old PLOMB tool - cut it down and made some kind of garden tool. But the perfect placement of the logo makes me believe this is an actual tool.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It's factory. For weeding. A few of them are in the hands of GJ Plomb collectors.

Here is mine. I found it last year at a Tahoe garage sale.

I have one too. I bought it at that giant Portland antique sale.

Those things bring some big bucks in nice shape. Google search Plomb Weeding Tool...

Yes, a rarity. I picked up one a while ago, but mine has some custom PO work to make it work "better"

Here is mine... it truly is a tool. Plomb made quite a bit of odd tools especially in the early days. They even made sprinkler heads...

Interesting timing!

I paid a visit to Mr X on Tuesday morning then stopped at a thrift store I rarely get to these days because it's out of my way. Anyways, what did I find? A weeding tool! However, mine is not stamped on the fork. In fact, the fork has a slightly different shape to it. There's also the faintest remains of a circular logo on the handle. Is it still Plomb?
