Description: Antique Scovil Hoe Co Hoe Head With Embossed Farmer Logo #2. History on the Hoe. It’s built of two metals laminated to each other. One layer being softer than the other. They were hot forged in 20 tin presses. The idea was patented in about 1850. The reason for the bimetal structure is one for strength but basically the softer layer would give way in use before the hard layer thus keeping the hoe always sharp. Hence the “ Self sharpening hoe”.
