Odd hook end wrench

[superzstuff]

Got this "hawk claw" ended wrench at auction. Have no idea on it's use. Only marking is a "32" on wrench end. 8 1/4" long over all.

 Charles Allen & Co. Barre, Massachusetts

 they made the Yankee horse rake, plus other farm equipment

  I had sold a few of those wrenches in the past.

  I believe that they were for removing and installing the hay rake tines. the tine would fit into the grooves of the wrench.

  Barre is only about 30-35 miles from me.
