My apologies this isn't automotive-related.
I inherited this tool from my Father when he passed away. I've been calling it a 'wrecking bar', but I don't think that's correct.
What is the correct name for it and WIW?
I don't have it here next to me, but I think it weighs around 25lbs, is 54" long, and is at least 40 yrs old.
Anyone?
Thanks!
John

I first saw those watching others repair railroad tracks after derailments. When I helped clean out my 90 lb, 4’10”” grandmother’s garden shed I noticed she had one for planting. A few weeks ago I helped my older sister do some planting in the soil of the rocky shore of Lake Cumberland where I was swinging a pick. I thought to myself: I need to get her a Lining Bar to keep here at the cabin. It is a better tool for selectively getting around rocks. As luck would have it, Deer made short work of what we planted. “Shipp Laurel” was cross bred to create a taste that deer do not like. More such plants are needed.

10.00 at farm auctions... According to FB keyboard warriors even that is too high. I’m beginning to think I should have just dumped it with rest of my scrap metal.

Drop it off at a local equipment rigger. They will put it to good use. Yep, heat the sharp end and put a slight bend to it and it can be used to "walk" heavy machines.

Doesn't take up much room. Just stand it up in the corner cause you know about a week after you get rid of it you'll need one.
That's kinda the problem, it has been standing in a corner since 2011. Come Sept, I'll have no more corners to stand it in, so it needs to go.

SOLD!! Guy who bought it called it a 'pinch bar' because it'll get you out of a pinch. Thanks everyone! So what was it worth?
