What is it? Set 504

Perhaps 2937 was used to cut hay in the hayloft. Back before haybales came out. I imagine the hay would become quite tightly packed after a while. phil k.

Someone posted the link below on my site, this lawn edger is the only tool that I've seen that resembles 2937, so for now I'm going with this as the answer:

I see that someone has identified the blue and red device you posted for me a few years ago.

The answer is fully consistent with the person who owned it; my wife's late uncle. He was a chemical engineer and successful businessman; mayor of his home city and a wonderful person. In his later years his interests drifted toward metaphysics and such a device would sure fit for him. One of his projects was attempting to use pyramid power to preserve food. He hoped for new breakthroughs to feed the world.

ed and might be difficult to solve but hopefully we'll eventually get an an swer for 2937. Rob

Its handle is missing, so we don't know the length of the complete tool, bu t the handle's insert is 4" long, so the handle must/would be fairly long, maybe. I searched for a custom made planting tool, but several/various keyw ord searches came up empty, other than similar planting tools as #2912, in Set 500.

Good to hear that you saw the answer, I had sent you an email a few days ago and didn't hear back and I wasn't sure if you were a regular visitor to the site or not.

Sounds possible, I'll add this to the list of suggestions for this tool and then send them on to the owner of it.

Rob, I must be among your most faithful followers. Almost never miss a week, and enjoy guessing immensely. If someone else posts an answer ahead of me, I just let it go.

Changed ISP's a year or so ago and have a new email address.

Don't have the case; I opened it after your posting, but I do have the carbon and the glass plates.

It's nice when you pursue a puzzle and eventually come up with an answer.
