I posted this at thegaragegazette and we determined it was a walden but we have yet to determine the intended purpose. lets see if you guy cann help.



photobucket is being a PIA I will post a pic of the business end in a bit and here it is....

Any chance you can turn that on it's side?  Are the sides of the business end broached?

its simply a ball with a slot.

I have a guess. I suspect its a tool for installing headliner bows on 60's cars. I think its ball shaped so it doesnt snag or tear the fabric. But its a WAG!

I think it held some kind of valve scraper.  Like the kind in the old socket sets.

I think it was held in by a pin that went through those holes in the side of the ball end?
