Looks like a masonry chisel to me.

Doesn’t look like any I’ve had. If you google "caulking iron" you’ll find a boatload of pictures  :grin:.

Im with UB on the masonry chisel and I agree with Mike not being like any I have had. They are usually thinner to fit deeper int the joint .
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

Like the picture Oldgoaly, I just sold two lots of rivet sets on e-bay and only have three rivet sets left out of nearly 300 I found in an old machine shop.  Information with them indicated they were declared surplus by the USAF depot in 1952 in Topeka, Kansas

Located at Forbes Field in south Topeka, then and now. Forbes was an active site then, no longer though the field does take some traffic. Cool historic Combat Air Museum located there though.

I was a B-47H pilot stationed at Forbes from 1955-1959.
