Antique Treen 19thc Boxwood Sugar Mallet & Chisel . English C1840-60.

A rare form of Mallet made out of Boxwood, but what makes this one really special is that hidden in the end of the handle is the small chisel that you would use to "pick" away at the sugar loaf....you simply unscrew the end when you need it and when you are finished screw it back in....I would have never even realised it was there until I was shown it by the collector I bought it from....excellent colour and condition.
