Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on May 14, 2012Could be a old shingle removal tool. The V shape gets around the nails and help pulls them out. The foot step your speaking about is the fulcrum that allows the unit to rock up when the handle is pushed down.Helpful Reply

Raymond G on May 15, 2012Thank you everyone for your input. I am leaning towards the shingle remover. I have tried using it for different jobs (without breaking it) and shingles sounds like a good project for it. It would have the leverage for that. If ever I do a roof in the near future, I will give it a try. Until then I will hang it on a wall so it can age some more. I mean this thing looks OLD. Thanks again all...Helpful Reply

Raymond G on May 15, 2012Kevin M.- I like the way you think. Food is my downfall. Clay B.- It is very old, just don't know how old. Everything in that garage was antique or older. Maybe my museum can tell me more about it???Helpful Reply

Wishful creation and designs on May 16, 2012dont think its for shingles ,would dig into plywood and hang up wouldnt it??? and as far as pulling nails ,they wouldnt be sticking up enough for the rake to grab them would they??? But I think we can all agree that its older than any of us most likelyHelpful Reply

Raymond G on May 16, 2012Sharon H- No not slanted. It's straight as an arrow. Due to its age I would guess back then all they had was hand split cedar shingles which this would probably work well for... I'll keep digging in hopes of finding its use somewhere.Helpful Reply

Comet on Dec 22, 2014Can't tell you what it IS--but thanks for posting it!!!---but it's NOT a slate roof tool. Those are made completely of forged metal and have a bent angled handle so your hand does not get forced into the sharp slate edges; and the other end has a flattened area that has a notch to cut thru a stubborn slate nail and two "wings" to pull against the nails or any stucl pieces of slate. . When you do a slate repair you are not re-nailing; you are cutting the nail and then using a "slate hook" to slide OVER the slate still on the roof; this will go over the edge of the slate being slid in to cover the spot where the broken one came off. Slate roof can last a life time and there is nothing like the sound of rain on a slate roof! Altho my addy on here is from our former residence we now live a few miles from the Red Slate Capital of the World--Granville NY! Many people use the red slates as accents or to put dates on the roof. Many of the older homes have elaborate scalloped slates or complex patterns---very interesting to go around and see what is up there!Helpful Reply
