Antique Masonry Trowel

This well-worn antique masonry trowel features a hand-forged steel blade with a broad, tapered triangular shape and a beautifully aged surface marked by layers of oxidation and patina. The blade shows remnants of original finish beneath the rust, a testament to decades of honest use. It is fitted with a turned wooden handle secured by a metal ferrule, smoothed and darkened from years in the hand. Solid, weighty, and richly textured, this piece embodies the craftsmanship of early trade tools and makes a striking decorative object for a shelf, toolbox display, or industrial-style vignette.

Condition:
Heavy surface rust and wear consistent with age and use; handle shows age, wear, and patina but remains intact and sturdy. Sold as-found for decorative or collectible purposes.
