`Tooth` of a mechanical harvester

Hooked piece of iron thought to be one of a row of many `teeth` from the blade of a mechanical harvester (tractor- or horse-drawn). The teeth would have combed and separated the crop, while a blade running back and forth along the teeth would have cut the crop. Sold in pairs from Brown`s shop in Balemartine. Found in a fireplace in Kenovay.
