This iron vent pick was a tool used by Civil War Heavy Artillerymen. It was inserted through the vent hole of the cannon in order to pierce the cartridge bag seated in the bore. This allowed the flame from the primer to reach the propellant charge.

Measures 20” length overall and 2 ¼” diameter at the handle. Surface shows a darkened patina and the loop is bent as shown.  [cm][ph:L]
