Long wood handle with long iron rod attached to end. Triangular blade at end of rod. Marked, “M.F. Norcross”. According to Skip Brack at the Liberty Tool Museum, this tool was used by a cobbler to clip the excess from wooden pegs in shoes. He also said the name Norcross referred to the owner, not the maker.
