Lot 508: Square-Mouth D-Handle Shovel with Wooden Shaft
A utility shovel featuring a square-mouth metal blade designed for shifting loose materials or general gardening tasks. The tool is constructed from a metal blade attached to a weathered wooden shaft, which terminates in a black plastic or composite D-handle grip. The design is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century utility tools. An orange adhesive label is affixed to the handle with the handwritten characters S08, likely representing a lot or inventory number. No manufacturer’s marks, brand names, or patent dates are visible on the metal, wood, or plastic components.
Condition report:
The shovel is in used, functional condition. The metal blade shows significant surface oxidation and accumulated soil consistent with regular outdoor use. The wooden shaft appears weathered with visible grain wear. The plastic handle shows typical surface scuffs and scratches from handling but remains intact.
