unknown tool w/jagged edge

[international3414]

1.5" wide edge ,4.5" long,,not a clue

If it had a straight edge I would say a poor example of a dough scraper. With that edge I have no clue.

Hide scraper?

Is the square shank consistent in dimensions over its length?  If so, I'm wondering if it's an old-style bench stop for planing, such as you find on the Roubo and other 17th/18th-century benches.  A couple of pictures:

I had to get a regular job, so I have not been on here as much lately.  I have been out of town a lot in my work travels all over WV. 

I think it is a bench stop, but it also looks similar to croze plane blades.
