Worm tool: large iron corkscrew

Tool, "worm", an iron tool, similar to a large corkscrew, but lacking a handle, used for inserting or removing wadding from a tube, perhaps even the barrel of a cannon that has been loaded but not fired; found by the donor in Ruth Freeman's barn across from Preble House.
