Ya, Marge, this is something anyone can do. I found an old fashioned ice fishing spud- long chisel to make fishing holes in a frozen lake in the Ueno National Museum in Tokyo. It was unlabeled, but provenance to the northernmost of the chain of islands called Japan which has fresh water lakes like us. They asked "What is this? Unknown." When I wrote a note saying this was found in every old-timers garage corner to get food from the lake, dig a hole in the ice...no one wanted to take my note, guard, clerk or attendant. So, it does matter who you are. But in your heart, you will know it is a spontoon.
