470: Is a clinker grab for reaching inside fireboxes of steam boilers to remove solidified lumps of clinker. Clinker is a glass like substance, that is made up (if I remember rightly, not sure of the chemistry) of impurities from coal. Clinker will melt and flow like glass across the firebars in firebox and choke the fire of oxygen. Some types of coal would be worse than others, in fact notorious would be more appropriate. I would have been caught out many times in the past when out with our Traction Engine on the road. One minute steaming well, the next losing steam rapidly. Usually in a real difficult place to.

These are all correct.

Thanks for the info. On the answer sheet I was planning to post that it's a log grabber, for adding and removing logs in fires. But since this tool has probably been used by numerous professions I'll change the answer to "used for moving various things in and out of ovens and fires." There is a modern version of it for sale here:

Several years ago someone sent me the photos of the one seen here, but if you do a search on "log grabber" you'll find some similar tools.
