Went to the farmer market today, and on the way, I saw the sign. I knew the
farm. It's old. Well over 100 years in the family, but older than that. I had to
look.
Aside from the Jubilee tractor (Ford) that I really don't need and can't touch
their asking price (though I may go back tomorrow....), I found this:

The handle is rather a brute, unrefined and weathered. The mount is what you
would expect for a farmer--- get it working: https://postimg.cc/0M74Fyyt and

No maker mark, but the handle looks commercial. Any ideas? To make it usable, I
think a rehandle is needed. Any suggestions as to form? If I am reading it
right, setting is by the taper on the head, but what is the best way to drive it
to avoid destroying the edge?
