The implement, which has been provisionally identified by Russell Palmer as an eel catcher, has a number of sharpened serrated blades attached to a conical tube that was probably used for attaching a handle. Some of the blades are missing. The date of the find or donation is unknown. The object came to light when clearing the shed at the back of the Otford Heritage Centre.
