Lots of these on the Outils Anciens site a year or so ago (maybe where you obtained some of the images)

Yep, as a matter of fact that's where the old photo of the guy smoking a pipe and wielding two wrenches came from. I'd never heard of that site before. Kind of interesting to see there are folks in France talking about old tools just like we do.

They have been at it a long time. Just too bad that they only use French on that forum. I am a member, but have only posted once or twice since my French is almost nonexistent these days. I can read it OK and figure out what is being discussed, but am unable to contribute.

I believe the point is for cleaning out the pre drilled hole for the stud to screw into.   On this side of the pond, they were known as Caulks, or calks, hence the Diamond Calk Horse Shoe company, Duluth, Minn.  Later known as Diamalloy.

None of the U.S. horseshoe calk tools I'm aware of include a feature for clearing the hole in the horseshoe where the calk inserts or the hoof pick aspect.   If all the participants concur, I foresee this discussion appearing in slightly different form in a future MVWC newsletter. -- Stan S.

It is worthy of discussion. We need someone familiar with the subject of farrier work to weigh in.

After I had looked at the answer I asked my wife to look at the pic.  She knew exactly what it was, and is looking for pics of different ones.

Here is a "multi tool" version of one, but no hammer on it.

I'd about bet that "Diamond" made one.

Neat! I'll have to see about getting one of those "modern" ones to go with my old ones.
