Purchased at a flea market in England. This is a tool from the 1800s used to manually transport rails. It's quite heavy-duty, weighing about 1 kilogram. It was likely forged by hammering heated metal, a process called "ton ten kan" back then. It has a strong handmade feel. I don't think there's any rust. It doesn't come off on your hands. Recommended for those looking for rare railway items.
