wooden handle
Description:
A wooden and semi-metal handle with a top piece missing that probably was used by Teresa Summerskill beforehand and it was donated by Laura Burden. There is no brand name on the handle, thus making it difficult to tell what tool it could have been or where it was manufactured from. However, judging from the handle shape, it may have been used as a domestic tool. For donor biography see description for 021.10.01.
