    Description

    ANTIQUE RAILROAD, SPIKE DRIVER 'MALL' / SPIKE 'REMOVER' with HARTWELL BROTHERS HANDLE. Used but in almost new condition.  Nice item for the wall of your 'train room'. I believe the curved head was designed to remove railroad spikes. The handle is 36 inches long total and the head is 12 & 1/2 inches wide.  It weights 7 & 1/2 pounds +.  There is no manufactures name on the head but there is an 'emblem' that I do not recognize.
    The Hartwell handle is 'Genuine Hickory' and is marked 'PINTO'  In the Hartwell Brothers Catalog #97, 'PINTO' is defined as "Medium and heavy weight white hickory permitting slight sound defects or bird pecks, fire tempered and spot treated".  There are a few very small holes in the handle from 'sub terrain termites', I believe (please see photo).  They are long gone.
