Detailed description
A vintage small masonry pointing trowel with a classic diamond-pattern steel blade, original turned wood handle, and metal ferrule. This piece was cleaned and preserved rather than over-restored, leaving an honest dark working patina that fits well in a vintage tool collection, rustic shop display, or light practical use.
The blade remains flat and presentable, with no major visible edge damage. The handle is solid and retains its age and character. No visible maker’s mark was found after cleanup. The tool measures about 10 inches overall based on your ruler photos.
Condition
Good vintage condition with visible age and use wear. The blade shows dark patina, scattered staining, and pitting from prior corrosion.
