Hmm, well, the left side looks like a masons tool, so, i'm thinking the right side is for installing or breaking off form straps?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

It looks like a pointer to finish the job when laying bricks as in pointing  between the bricks to make then look nice

I'd say it's over.  It is a bricklayers mortar joint tool that combines the joiner and rake.  The concave area providing a way for excess mortar to move from the tool.  Patent 3109189
