What up hoe?

Post by GSPTOPDOG »

Anyone have any idea as to the maker of this old hoe? I know on axes a mark like the zero/0 could be related to the hardware stores it was distributed to. However I am not sure about the zero/0 mark on this ho.

That’s a neat one. Around here we call that style an eye hoe or a smith hoe. The ones I have were all blacksmith made as you can see the forge welds on them and there are no markings.

I have no idea as to who made yours, but it is a neat one for sure. Put a handle in it and put it to work, they’re gooder’uns.

My plan was to use it, as it seems there is no end to the weeds always growing in my yard ::teary_eyes:: As I say "Why buy Chi-Com when there are good 'ol American made tools in so many garages and sheds all over the good 'ol USA!!!

My Father always called it a grub hoe.
He said he used it when he was young for chopping weeds for their cotton and tobacco.
I still have it hanging up in the shop.
You've got a nice hoe there! ::tu::

Nice find. That one was made of heavy gauge steel and will outlast several of the cheapie new ones they sell nowadays. I love finding those old hoes, shovels etc at trade day and farm sales.

I have a hoe I am going to clean up that has gotten a bit rusty. I found it years ago on an abandon farm when I was hiking in the interior of Brazil in the middle of nowhere. I brought it home as a pretty unique souvenir. I will post some pictures to follow....

Oops! ::skeptic:: Well, ::hmm:: I have learned that these old Ho's don't cost me as much money in the long run...
