Prop for Father Time (6)

I believe the answer is:

scythe

(Other definitions for scythe that I've seen before include "Tool for cutting grass with blade on long pole" , "Manual hay-cutter wielded with both hands" , "Old-fashioned hand-held hay mower" , "Old hand-held cutter of hay" , "Long-handled tool for cutting grass or grain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
