[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Breanne

Two members from the BC Forest Discovery Centre’s Curatorial Committee have identified them as (cold) chisels used for splitting rock or concrete.

Hello,

 

I had these five items left at the entrance of the Chase & District Museum and there was no note explaining what they are or where they came from. I did have someone guess that they were to do with a railroad or maybe surveying?

They have clearly been hammered down flat at the top end and have been cut to a chisel-like point at the other end. They are also all different sizes.

 

Any help identifying these would be great!

Please email me at chasemuseumsociety at gmail.com <mailto:chasemuseumsociety at gmail.com>
