An iron combination tool features a head with a weighted hammer face and a tapering, pointed pick. A central screw projects forward from the joint. Decorative, architectural moldings adorn the upper sections of the two long handles, which terminate in a notched nail puller and a flat screwdriver tip. The dark, matte metal surface is textured throughout, giving the utilitarian implement a weathered, antique patina.
