A tuning fork?
No, but that's what I thought it was as well, so you're in good company.

Nope, but good guess (that would be torture!).

Looks like an older meat fork that holds the meat still while you carve it the little bit on the ends enables to to serve the meat easily..
but looks like it not sure I have one similar here but little smaller and use to get pickles out of a jar.. just a thought.. !

I remember using both of those implements, and while they're a great guess they are unfortunately incorrect.

Is it a .weeding tool or fork? something to do small gardens like hand spot weeding? digging around the plants?

It looks like it could be used like a chisel for woodworking, once it had the handle on it.

Thanks I seem to remember using something like this when I worked for a small nursery in Sydney.. It was a florist shop but they
had an area in a green house where they grew lots of plants to sell.. like now a days they sell pots but back then it was the florist that
did that and I am talking about 1960s.. when I left school I had a spare time job in that shop.. as I worked in Sydney in the Taxation office.
Well had to keep my mom didn`t I lol? she said it was pay back time.. !! my first win eh ! it was fun thanks Phil.. now for the next one.. !
