I thought it was a Blackhawk, but it says Christensen MFG Utica NY pat pending.

1922 Auto Trade Journal. No photo, sigh

(There are at least 3 companies with this name, one made adding machines)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

YUP, that's the tool I have.

I'll have to visit the factory site next time I'm in Utica.

Thanks

The ad seems to indicate that it could be used for the no. 4 connecting rod on Ford cars, among other things.
