An auger is a boring tool used in a variety of woodworking trades to bore long deep holes. It consists of an iron shank with a T-shaped handle at one end and a boring device at the other. A taper auger is shaped like a tapered conical half-funnel. This one was made by W. Gilpin around 1860, and has 'T. Turner & Co.' stamped on the shaft. It was bought from R. Middleton & Sons' wheelwrights workshop in Eddington, Hungerford.
