You're very close Cathy but no connection with gardening. Think field work...

For retrieving your Jack Russell from a rabbit hole?

Could be Kev but that was not its primary purpose. You are very close....

Moles?

I'll put my money on Kev's moles!

So will I.

A good bet! Because it's right. A mole catcher's spade. Usually on a longer shaft with a metal spike on the other end.



Next one?

That was a nasty one.

Kept you going for a while though Cathy.....



Who is this man?

Rat catcher?

I'm with Gloria on that, you suppose he's noticed he has one sat on his shoulder or is that a ferret?

Isn't that a ferret?

Could be a Brummie rat

If it's not this chap it should be. .

It's a ferret.
Yes it's a ratcatcher but a rather special one. More information please.
That Kev has been googling again!

Birmingham rat catcher?

Exactly Gloria. The official Birmingham rat catcher.....
Next for shaving?

Picked it up from Kev.

I've sent for the ferret man's book Tales of a Rat hunting man

Note hunting not catching.

I surfed it on the local library shelf years ago, and my odd memory won't let me forget about it.

He has a terrier sort of dog named after him The" Plummer Terrier"which I quite like the look of.

PS Well I never - I notice that the other very cheap copy has vanished. I wonder. . . .

Nice looking dog....

What is it?

A pipe socket, the splined end goes inside the pipe so you don't damage the outside with Stilsons (that's my understanding anyway).

Got it in one Kev, an internal pipe wrench, they come in sets for different size pipes. Most common use is getting a broken piece of pipe out at a joint.
Next for shaving

What a good idea. So simple. Never come across them.
