Miniature Copper Rake (Nail Rake) to hold It is quite beautifully madeThis beautiful little copper object, with a rake on one end and what looks rather like a spade on the other, from what I understand is actually an old nail rake, which would have been used in a general store to scoop or sort nails. It's really a lovely thing, which now could be used to rake sand in a tabletop zen garden, or as a paperweight, or just as a another great little object to set somewhere. Great condition with a beautiful patina. 5 1 8" long
