Another mystery tool in my possession. I thought to pack lead and oakum in cast iron sewer pipes? What do think?

Has the other end been struck?  May be a stone cutters tool?

It is a stone mason's bush chisel.  It is a small version of the bush hammer that looks like a meat tenderizer.  It is used to smooth stone as mentioned above.
