Helping to clear out an old garden shed in London u.k., we found this cleaver.
Its pretty ancient probably from about 1910 or so.
Some think it's a woodworking tool or similar, and others think its a butchers cleaver, although some think not, because butchers cleavers are usually much bigger and you can see from the photo it's really quite small. it also has the number 6 stamped on the blade. anyone any idea what its original purpose was likely to be? thanks.
