Description: From John Stanley Antique Tools - WOW!! In our 35+ years of dealing in antique tools this is the first one of these we have ever found while picking. This is a hand forged Coopers Flagging Iron. Measures 20 1/2" long x 4 1/4" wide. The blacksmith that made this certainly knew his craft. Signed - SLOAN. The flagging iron was used by the Cooper in the process of flagging. In order to prevent the barrel from leaking, dry rushes (flags) are inserted into the groove made by the croze and between the separate parts of the head, and after repairs between the staves at their chime ends.A hard to find item in exceptional condition for you to add to your antique tool collection.
