Description :

Antique Peavey (often referred to interchangeably as a cant hook, though true peaveys strictly feature a terminal spike).

(Faded stamp) Oshkosh Logging Tool Co. based out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin (historically nicknamed "Sawdust City" due to its massive lumber boom).

Estimated Era: 1895–1911.

The wood looks naturally aged and beautifully weathered. To protect it while keeping that authentic history intact:Wipe the handle down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove loose dirt.Apply a light coat of boiled linseed oil or paste wax over the stamped area. This will make the stamped letters pop without destroying the historic patina.

The Spike: This was designed so a lumberjack could drive it directly into a log jam to pry logs apart, or stab it into the ground to keep the wooden handle upright and out of the snow/mud when not in use.

The Pivot Hook: The swinging hook (often called a "dog") hangs below the spike, ready to grab the outside of a log while the spike provides the pivot point against the timber.
