Antique Long Reach Hand Forged Masonry Chisel with Turned Hardwood Handle - A hand-forged long-reach chisel, possibly intended for masonry or heavy industrial prying. The tool is constructed with a tapering metal shaft, octagonal at the midpoint and transitioning to a round section before terminating in a flattened, wedge-shaped chisel tip. The metal flares at the shoulder where it meets a simple iron ferrule. The handle is turned from a single piece of hardwood, featuring a slender grip and a broad, bulbous mushroom-style pommel designed for palm striking or ergonomic leverage. No maker's name, stamps, or patent marks are visible on the metal or wooden components.
