Monday Mystery J S Kent


Here's a blade-type thing with a thread and eye of some sort on one end (possibly for insertion of a wooden handle?). The corroded blade seems to be marked J. S. Kent Barnstable Mass. Ideas anyone?

My guess is the broken remains of an eel spear:

J.S Kent made "Eel spears" that would have had side branch hooks going through the eye.

Didn't even know there was something called an eel spear! Thanks!
