United Galoots,

Anyone know what this tool is (for)?
Photos are yellowed by the spotlights, but shouldn't be an issue.
A sort of flatted nail, a bit like a sack needle or a chisel, or maybe
a pottery tool of some sort. Puzzling...
There is a stamp on it, hard to read, something like ASERIM (wild guess).
Not sure if it has ever been sharp.

Hummm, now you're saying that, I sort of remember seeing some of these.
Tbh, I'm a bit disappointed that the mystery tool didn't last more than 5
minutes! ;)

Thanks for sharing.

Still curious about how one is supposed to use it...
(Yes I could Google it).

Thanks Peter!

I believe the mark is AHREM. It's a town in Germany and the mark of a tool
maker. The full name seems to be AHREM's Goodline. In searching I find tools
such as saw sets and pliers, mostly on sites in Australia and New Zealand.

If I hadn’t already read the experts’ answers, and without a sense of scale
In your pix, I would have guessed a tobacco pipe “tool”.  My dad used to
have a nicer one.

It took me a while to find it, but I knew I had a reprint of a 1950s 
AHREM'S GOOD LINE cattle dog.
I'm sure that somewhere I've a copy of Danks & Sons catalogue. They were 
the local Ahrem's distributor.
