It's a leg crook isn't it

I've seen a few similar types...

Looks to be a Pyecombe Crook...the Sussex Downland Shepherds used to carry them...

I could have bought several, over the years, wish that I had now

You still see the odd one, on the wall of country Pubs..

Brings back memories, of when I travelled to Hungerford, to buy, a stuffed Smithfield,....it was emotional...

Think I've just seen the modern leg crooks. 

And poultry leg hooks, just made from old plain wire

I've got one of those old Warreners spades with the hook on the end,it's about 6 1/2 ft long and is in such good nick i could use it in the field tomorrow as such..

As for the leg cleet i was told my one was a fowl crook by a old boy i showed it to as his father had one and only ever had farmed fowl and used one regular catching them..

Every day is a school day eh..
