Can anybody help me identify this item please?

Greetings all! I am hoping somebody will be able to help me identify this item. I assume it is a cultivator shovel of some sort, but I am not familiar with a single hole and flat edge variety. Any ideas and thoughts about its age? Thanks for your help!

We always just called them shovels around here. Lay off rows for planting things like potatoes or for dropping seed in a garden furrow.

Here is one that hangs on my shop wall that was repaired many times by an old blacksmith I knew when I was a kid.

"Marker shovel". Local term for water furrower.That one is worn out.Supposed to come down to a point.
 
The flat edges are what actually so the cutting
through the soil . I remember growing up asking
grandpa why are you sharpening the back of the
hoe instead of the front he said because the back is
what does the cutting . If you were to flip a
culitovstor sweep over and look at it you would see
it has the same bevel to it
 
Day and night difference between that and a aweep. A sweep has wings on the side that about lay flat.
