Description, scan 2
A long, narrow iron object with a rough, pitted, dark crust of corrosion, slightly wider at the lower end and narrowing towards the top. It lies alone against a pale background on a card mount with a cream border. Its edges are irregular where rust has eaten into the metal, and a small printed label sits in the lower right corner.
