formariz 11,974 #329 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Is it function scraping?. Has only one edge and on rounded tip. Little handle is to help guiding it? Or is it used in scoring something as it is guided by a straight edge ? Edited May 10, 2019 by formariz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it used in scoring something as it is guided by a straight edge ? Not a scraper. Little handle helps use it. Not for scoring or guided by a straight edge. Sorry, no cigars for Cas. Hint, Mrs. K's Grandmother used this tool in the factory where she worked in the 1920s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LengerichKA88 1,883 #339 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Woman working in a factory in the 20’s, not a textile factory, but was it a clothing manufacturer? (I kinda hope not because I can’t think of anything along those lines😂) I know women worked in munitions plants during the war, but not how long if at all after....but can’t think of anything along those lines either. Left field guess: Is it for cutting semi soft materials such as soaps, waxes, lard, butter, cheese, or any other similar substances?

LengerichKA88 1,883 #347 Posted May 10, 2019 My guess is that it was either used to cut the leaf from the plant, or to cut the rolled and cured leaf. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
