According to my reference, Thomas A. Carr, Alabama, made shovels for the Confederates.
Typically, blade was 10.25" x 7" with a 18" wood handle.
If it had a strap, would have been stamped: "T.Carr CAST-STEEL"
Thank you for those searches. I saw most but did not see the one talking about Ames Museum. I'll get in touch with them. Luckily it is in New York (if I have to go there). I usually stay away from shovels. But i was taken by the construction of this one.
