Antique Cornelius Whitehouse & Sons Bill Hook
This antique bill hook is crafted by Cornelius Whitehouse & Sons, a renowned manufacturer of edge tools. Measuring approximately 9 inches in length, this tool was originally designed for use in orchards, gardens, and for general agricultural purposes. The curved blade is intended for cutting through branches, brush, and other vegetation, while the wooden handle provides a secure and comfortable grip.
