cool find...a shavehook!
 I didn't know Millers made one. They can't be common.

The box is twice as scarce as the tool.

I figured it was a good buy at 2 bucks, but only has the 2 blades with it.

Check the prices of new blades for scrapers.  For 2 bucks, there is no "only"  -- 2 bucks doesn't cover the cost of the scraper, which is in really good condition.  Congrats.

Just be careful with it!
 My mother was needing to scrape wood in a corner and describing what she couldn't find to buy, so I broke down and made her one.
 Well it arrived and scraped her corners and all was well, until...........................
 She got tired and left it on her chair

 Guess what happened next?

 She would never tell, but I got the story from my sister. Stitches in her butt!
