Pre - 1900 Underground Mining Hand Drill Steel 29 " 4. 6lbs Leadville Colorado
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:24402999 |
I purchased this hand steel from the Tabor estate. The rabies are a long time Leadville family, they operated a silver mine and an Oprah house in Leadville in the 1880's.
This hand steel was well used in a silver mine in the area. One miner would pound on it with a hammer and another guy would spin it. It started as a crisp octagon, over time it has been worn almost round In excellent condition, light... rust patina. Medium sharp. It rolls straight.
