I have heard of a J-hook for use in the mountains when the log tried to over run the mules or horses. The horses turned out to the side and the hook turned loose the log letting it pass the horses without hitting them. Sometimes it didn't work and the horses were killed.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a garden implement of some kind.

looks like an early log roller or log separator. a type of early cant hook, for rolling logs.  |

I wondered if it wasn't for some sort of log work. Don't know how you'd roll a log with it though. On a side note, cant hooks aren't made for rolling logs. That's what a peavey is for.

I have a peavey, tho it isn't made by the Peavey Company.
Maybe the tool in question is for prying rocks loose....

There you go. The only question I had with it being for logs would be the side with the longer metal support, seems that would be on the opposite side for support in rolling/shifting a log. Your picture shows the tool in use. |

Google tells me it's a Gifford -Wood Co. ice harvesting pike pole. It appears as though it had a few different uses. Including log driving on the rivers I think I saw somewhere.

Either would make sense I guess, a lot of trees floated down the rivers here and, we had to get ice from somewhere and it had to be moved.
