Up for sale is a genuine, beautifully preserved antique twin-prong bag hook (traditionally known as a "wishbone" hook). This authentic piece of Australian agricultural history dates back to the early 20th century, used extensively by shearers, farmers, and dockworkers to manhandle heavy burlap grain sacks and tightly packed wool bales.
Features an ergonomic, hand-turned timber T-handle with a through-tang iron shaft, peened securely over a washers on the reverse side—built to handle immense pulling force. Perfect for tool collectors, rustic farmhouse decor, or as a statement display piece in a shed or barn.
Condition: Excellent antique condition with a fantastic natural patina. The timber handle shows beautiful age-related wear but remains structurally solid with no major cracks. The hand-forged iron prongs are intact and strong. Please refer to photos for exact cosmetic condition.
