| A typical early 19th century blacksmith made garden tool. |
| 101701T10 | Oxen shoe | DTM |

| This smith-made shoe is unmarked and difficult to date. |

| 101701T3 | Sheep shears | DTM |
| Steel, 12 1/2" long, signed "Shear Steel W. Wilkinson". |

| index of British plane iron makers in "British Plane Makers from 1700". Shear steel is reworked welded steel and of a higher |
| 83102T7 | Trowel | DTM |

| something else. |
