Wendy, I have to ask how you found it! Did you know what it was? That was really good! ;D

Thanks Wendy for verifying what I suspected earlier from my grandfather's (mason).  I hadn't had a chance to look today.  Appreciate it!!!  I know it was my grandfathers' tool that my grandmother used it to clean seams on porcelain that she made and used it in the kitchen for taters as well!  LOL  Versatile.

Bigwull...On my other side of the family I come from a long line of citrus growers in the southern US.  This wasn't a tool used for citrus in the normal/regular trade.  :)  Unless someone wanted to innovative like we did with taters!
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

 I have seen this tool before My mother took pottery classes when I was very young so when she stopped her pottery work she had all the tools and we have well water that leaves a mineral deposit in your toilet, so Mom would get on the big yellow rubber gloves  clean and sanitize the bowl and use this tool to go to work like a dentist removing tarter  ;D  Very Versatile little tool KC
