Tack Branding Iron?

The item on the left believed to be a branding Iron used to mark tack, was found in the 1970's in lower Yokohl Valley just north of Badger Hill. It possibly belonged to Albert Kirkman as he owned the first livery stable in Exeter, CA.  The stable was located on North Filbert St. north of Pine St.
