I had my usual Saturday morning potter around a house clearance shop in town that regularly has some interesting tools ... And spotted a tool I had no idea of what it was. Neither did the store owner.
It's quite heavy. I thought at first the metal discs on the sides were magnets, but that wasn't the case. I think they are just the ends of metal rods added for weight.
Fortunately some of the original packaging was present and that appears to answer the question "what is this tool".
A small rug beater. Though whether that means it's a small beater for rugs or a beater for small rugs, I'm not sure.
Does anyone recognise this tool? Have you witnessed small rugs being assaulted by a device like this?
If nothing else it highlights the interesting things to be found in a good house clearance store.
