A Trio of Antique and Vintage Iron and Steel Tine Garden Hand Tools - This lot contains three disparate garden hand tools consisting of a broad soil aerator and two digging forks. The first tool is a large-scale broadfork or soil aerator constructed from a tubular and solid steel frame. It features a horizontal crossbar fitted with six pointed steel tines. The frame incorporates a dual-handle design, consisting of a vertical wooden grip on one side and a red-painted T-shaped steel handle on the other. The second tool is a standard digging fork featuring a four-tine forged steel head attached to a wooden shaft with a D-shaped wooden handle grip. The third tool is a narrower four-tine fork, likely a border or pitchfork, with a forged steel head and a long wooden shaft terminating in a turned wooden knob grip. A white adhesive label is present on the shaft of the aerator, though the text is not fully legible from the primary view. The wooden grip of the aerator also bears an adhesive label. The wooden shafts appear to be ash or a similar durable hardwood, and the heads are of forged ferrous metal construction.
