Clearing or Reefing Irons:

Evidently used to clear away old caulking from seams when preparing to re-caulk a ship or boat.

Caveat:

It is assumed that when tools have corresponding descriptions in different C. DREW catalogues, that they will also have the same dimensions and weights. This assumption may not always be correct.
