Antique Scythe and Bill Hook
This lot features an antique scythe paired with a brades bill hook, both tools historically used in agriculture for cutting grass and crops, and trimming hedges respectively. The scythe boasts a curved blade designed for sweeping motions across fields, while the bill hook offers a shorter, more precise cutting edge for detailed work. Both tools exhibit the craftsmanship typical of their era, with wooden handles showing signs of age and use.
Condition and Collectibility
The scythe and bill hook show signs of age and wear consistent with their use as working tools. The blades exhibit patina and may require sharpening or restoration. This lot would appeal to collectors of antique farm tools, gardening enthusiasts, or those interested in historical agricultural practices.
