A tool for ya Pappy
Found this while going through my Great Grandfather's tool box..
It's 3 3/4 inches long, meant to be struck on the narrow end, has a hole in the top that bends and comes out the larger end next to a cup shaped indent. What ya think Pappy?

Pretty interesting Bob. I have been sitting here trying to figure out what it could be used for. I hope Pappy can figure it out. I sure would like to now.

I was thinkin somethin' similar. I was thinkin it looked like some sort of grommet tool. Is that star shape in the little cup thing a reflection of light or is it an indentation?
