Has an adjustable blade on it
Box scraper? perhaps with the handle wrong-way-round?
It looks like a box scraper but with the wrong blade. Probably? A Stanley.

Yeah, should look like this, more or less (from the 1902 White and Van Glahn hdw catalog):(//)
I've always found it interesting that the tool's called a box "scraper," when it's actually a very small scrub plane. For those unfamiliar with the tool, it was developed for removing the labels (particularly, I imagine, stenciled on labels) from wooden shipping crates, so they could be re-used.
I've got one; have yet to figure out what else it might be used for, besides being nifty.
Thanks for y'all's help

Last night on a TV food program they were using a cheese shaver with a pivoting head - it looked just like this tool! Maybe you need to move it to the kitchen!

A garden hoe for fairy gardens?
