Two ended logging/wood working tool

[superzstuff]

Got this in a box of tools at auction and wonder what it was used for and maker. I figure it is driven into a log or board, but one end has a wedge and one a point. All of name is rusted away except "Bros. Co USA".

Farrier's tool it is.

Thanks! I was going in a real wrong direction. I found it, called a clinch cutter to remove horse shoes. Still not sure who made it.
