COLLECTIONS AUSTRALIA NETWORK Australian cultural heritage collections online

Pretty sure it's a fence strainer. Museum Victoria has a good
collection, Lisa Dale could probably put you on to more info from the
collection itself, of their trade literature.

Subject: [can-talk] Unknown item - Fencing?

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help us, please, with an identification or name for a tool we
have found at Old Gippstown.

We suspect it is a fencing tool, but we have never met the like of it
before.

The best photo is
at  http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3506670150_79e0bf31e1_o.jpg

But we have loaded some others at
http://www.flickr.com/groups/949850@N23/

It is about 45 cm long, and has not other words on it except the two in
view.

Thanks!

Linda
