Another What's it...
« on: January 20, 2012, 02:50:45 AM »
The tip of the tool is concaved and the shaft is 3 1/2" long and about 3/8” in diameter.

I think you may be correct with that papaw, if the shaft goes thru the handle

Some of the "snap" rivets don't need too much force, so I think a handled tool "could" be sufficient.

Brian, was it sharp? Like a leather tool? If not, maybe a tool for installing push-on nuts like on Tonka Toy wheels? Kitchen tool for making Red-Hots very slowly? Pharmaceutical tool for making Sudafed-like pills in limited volume? Wood handle says pre 1950. If the shank is through the handle, it might be a rivet setter, but the handle should show some damage from striking. None of the rivet tools I have seen have wood handles.

So, we know it's not to be struck, so it's more than likely pushed in use.

-Concave end.

-Can be messy in use.

Could it be for carving something soft, in a push type manner so the removed material rolls up and out of the way? Leather? clay sculpture?

Let’s see... Yes it is to be used to push something fairly soft, but not leather or clay... George Washington could have used a tool very similar to this one...
