Timber Scribe
notes: label: Description
content: A timber scribe cuts marks in wood. Frank V. Hopkins Slack, the donor of this example, reported that it was found among the stuff owned and used by his grandfather, Warner Whiton Hopkins (1817-1895), a surveyor in New York and later Ohio. It probably dates from around 1840 and was probably hand made.
