Looking for USA made ratchets-all sizes-drives and lengths  also S-K SuperKrome wrenches ditto.  Like to trade vs buy run it past me-nothing is cut in stone!

Hello, Cranky. This is just a guess; masonry or plaster v-grooves? Regards, Lou

When I saw the first picture, I thought it was a plumbing tool for packing oakum in cast iron pipe joints. In the second picture I see it has a V shape to it. Any makers name on it ? Maybe some kind of a masons tool. Maybe a tool for cleaning the hooves of reindeer ?

No, no markings of any kind-only clue when I picked it up was that the po did some sheet metal work-like Heating & cooling and was over 100 when he passed recently!
