Period

This tool presumably used c. 1970s +. Not used after 2012.

Canada

Part of a collection of tools and equipment used on Christmas trees farms or lease holdings used for the cultivation of evergreen trees to be marketed for this purpose. The production of Christmas trees [and associated products, such as wreaths] is a significant farming activity occurring in all provinces across Canada. With the exception of Alberta, Manitoba and Newfoundland each province has an association representing Christmas tree producers. Until the 1950s most trees harvested in Canada were cut in forests; since that time, trees have been grown on specially developed plantations or planted and then harvested from clear cuts. [Ref. 1]
