I looking for a yard broom. Back in days people didn't have grass to cut but did sweep their yards. I like fine one for me and one for mother. Does anyone know about these brooms or know where I can fine then.

I wish I could help but I have never heard of one. Could someone post a picture? This is very interesting since I thought I had worked with every outdoor tool known to exist.

If I had picture I would post one. I know what they look when I see the picture. One we had were made of bamboo. Google is no help.

You could try looking under horse supplies..ir looks very much like a "stick broom" or "stall broom".

Have you tried a yard & garden store? I thought you were talking about those big wooden rake looking things...looks like a garden rake only bigger with a wide sweep.

I've never heard of them. Learned something new today.

If you have a Colonial settlement nearby (like Williamsburg), you might find one there.
