Bellow cleaner
Description
The item has a large body, made up of a rod which is square in its section and is flattened towards its end, and a gloving tube for the wooden handle. It was used in metallurgic workshops for cleaning the slag and impurities out of the mouth of the bellows (the contraption that ensured adequate air circulation in order to maintain high temperature inside smelters).
