Babbit tool or sand casting tool ?

[Papaw]

I have this tool that needs ID so I can properly sell it.
Marked N T I   S1982H-1 and has 982-12 on both ends. The ends do thread off, so they must interchange with other ends. 9 1/2 " long , and the "spoon" ends are 3/8" wide.

Does not look like the bearing scrapers in my collection.

Guessing.  Tire lever for motor or bicycle.  Maybe the ends unscrew to fit in a tool kit.

Not strong enough for tire tools. The ends are shiny on the convex side as if they were used on something hot.

Pottery?

Too new to match any foundry tool I have, does look like clay working but the ends thread on? Well all the clay working tools I have a 1 pc "cheapy"

Hello, Papaw. I was thinking dental? but it would most likely need to be all stainless. There is a huge market for hobby spatulas, could be for wax carving??? Regards, Lou
