Woodwork -- Appalachian Region, Southern

This unidentified item was found in the tool chest belonging to woodworker Jesse Bryson Stalcup. One end has a shallow depression while the opposite end is shiny and has a .25" deep hole that was made by a machine tool. This artifact is possibly the base of a punch, used to create an indention or hole in sheet metal or leather. Stalcup was a skilled carpenter, millwright, and woodworker who worked in and around Waynesville, N.C., Macon County, N.C., and Hiawassee, Ga., circa 1880s-1930. The chest contains a variety of woodworking tools typically used by craftsmen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
