History Mystery: Historical Society Challenges Readers to Identify Mystery Object

By Larry Chase
History Mystery: In size, shape, and weight much like a railroad spike, this object, recently donated to the Andover Historical Society, has a couple of moveable parts and a grooved “sole” on its “foot.” If you can identify it and describe its use, please send your thoughts to Curator@nullAndoverHistory.org or call 603 498-6439. Correct response, with names of the identifiers, if any, will appear in the May issue of the Beacon. Caption and photo: Larry Chase
