This is an exceptional antique object, preserved in a time when every tool was a work of craft and labor.
The shovel is entirely made of solid wood with a handmade surface. Its handle has a beautiful wood texture and hand-carved signs that clearly testify to its authenticity.

The most impressive are the three separate markings found on different parts of the shovel:
1. In the upper front part of the shovel head is engraved:
o JG vo B – an inscription, carefully written, which denotes initials and place of origin.
2. On the side of the handle is duplicated the same inscription:
o voB, written vertically, along with decorative indentations and two metal nails placed to reinforce the handle.
3. On the inside of the handle, just below the head assembly, is clearly inscribed:
o the number 25 – this number may indicate the year of manufacture (1925), a serial marking or an internal inventory numbering.

These engravings and inscriptions not only give authenticity to the object, but also increase the historical and collector's value of the shovel. It is clear that this is not a mass production, but a handmade object, owned and marked by a specific person – in order to identify, preserve or pass it on.
This shovel is not just a tool – it is a document of the artisanal spirit of the early 20th century, which bears the marks of time and human touch.
