So here is a mystery item for your 5th's enjoyment. Four images. Plus two bonus images from the same guy's property. Naturally, the 5th is a sticker and the 6th a funky solid ply tire of some sort.

Last one is the trail tire on a tractor pulled, PTO driven mower/shredder. Where I grew up we called them a brush hog.

Orion5 may be correct. It looks like an old tobacco slip planter they used before the mechanized versions. I think those were also used for planting seeds in rows (not broadcast).

Tx is correct on the tire. The first pics look like a knife.

I believe Orion5 is correct too.
I know the item as a dibbler.
They come in straight and curved handle versions.

Okay, the guy has Class 3 weapons, drawers of collectible knives, and might have been pulling my leg. He said it was a tool used for unknotting ropes on rigged sailing ships of old.

But yeah, dibble looks more likely.

Thanks for playing.

Maybe... But a marlinspike or fid would usually have a much thinner taper than that.

Yeah. It does not look like a typical marlinspike.

That would be a marlin spike. And that ain’t whats in the pics.

I would hazard that it is a tool for making a hole in the ground in a row of plowed earth for the next guy on the tractor towed devise to put a fresh tobacco plant into.

A “staub”, like Karl Childers talked about, mm hmmm.
