A very nice old iron fish or eel spear used for gigging. It is about 10 inches long & 4½ inches wide. The end is hollowed out to receive a wooden handle. This is a big heavy gig found around the Chesapeake Bay. Made in a blacksmith shop most likely. They were used when eeling or fishing. Thanks for looking at our store. Please look the photos over well as they are the best description. My items are used & collectable so they are not brand new out of a box. Please expect some scratches, dings & knicks. I try to describe them as best I can. Feel free to ask any questions or for additional photos of the item. Please follow us on Etsy for more great things we are adding weekly.
