Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:43555175 | Brand: Unbranded |
| MPN: Does Not Apply |
A rare log dog maul in fair to good condition. The maul was used to hammer log dogs with chains into fallen logs so they could be dragged out of the woods; usually with a team of mules or oxen. The spike point on the end was used to stab the maul down onto a cut stump so it would not be misplaced in the usually cluttered area around a fallen tree. This maul has an excellent wrapped steel head and an intact spike point. The handle has a partial split off lengthwise as the photos sh...ow. It is most likely hickory or ash.Both the head and the handle have been given a varnished coat at some time by a previous owner. It is 25" long; the head is 4" in diameter and weighs 9 lbs.Although the log dogs and chains are fairly common the mauls are rareTerms & PaymentThanks for looking and/or bidding on my auction.
