Bidspirit auction | A Heavy Iron Serrated Drag

A Heavy Iron Serrated Drag or Waterway Clearance Tool - A heavy-gauge iron drag or specialized waterway clearance tool of robust construction. The main body is fabricated from two lengths of heavy-gauge angled iron, joined back-to-back to create a cross-shaped profile. Each of the four radiating fins features a series of deep, serrated teeth or flukes, tapering to a pointed leading edge. A heavy, cast-link chain is permanently attached to a forged eyelet at the head of the assembly. The chain terminates in a large, elongated master link for attachment to a tow vehicle or vessel. The construction suggests a utilitarian industrial or agricultural application, likely for clearing debris from silt, mud, or sand. There are no legible maker's marks, brand names, or manufacturer labels visible on the metalwork or the chain links.
