Chuck Kuntz Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 This obviously some sort of cutting tool. I wonder if it was used on leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Looks like a can opener. The point punctures the top and blade cuts the top around the top edge. Search vintage can opener. Could not find one like it but found similar types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM H. S. Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Try looking into Shoemakers tooling from maybe early 1800s. Looks like something would go into the rectangular hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also suggest that there is an adjustable "pin" piece missing from the rectangular opening to adjust it for different diameter cans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
