Another Whatisit

[Fred Childs]

I was at an estate / yard sale this weekend and found some pretty nice old tools. Finally found a No. 12 Scraper. About once every few years I find a yard sale worth going to.:D

I also found this. It’s made of solid rosewood. The center has been polished smooth. There are a couple of ferrules where the handles meet the body. Maybe something used to apply veneer?

Guess away!

Looks like a shop made tool.

Only the maker may know why they made it and like some of my shop made tools, they are used once and forgotten.

Thats a leather burnisher i don't know what that particular one was made for, maybe horse collars.

it's a manufactured piece, i'm pretty sure, and stanley actually made some similar ones.
