primitive iron tobacco pole, rusty iron farm tool for handling drying tobacco

Primitive rusty iron farm tool for working with the sticks of drying tobacco in the barn. It is from an old farm estate near Edgerton, WI in the heart of the Wisconsin tobacco district.

It measures about 12" long overall and the diameter of the socket is about 7/8". This would probably use a 1" pole. It does have some rust.
