Not sure if this is your teacher or not but there are some nice pics of the tool...  http://cestnik.com/tool.htm

Also says Pat. August 1876. 

This sounds like a case for Wayward  but I'll keep looking ;D

Reminds me of an industrial version of the combs that are used to prepare sheep's wool to be spun before it goes on a spinning wheel. I have no idea what they are called though. I could be way off on this.

Been searching google patents for 40 minutes with no luck. Wayward will happen along and find it in 2 minutes.  :P

I just got back from an out-of-town trip to visit my oldest daughter and her husband.  No time to surf.  Nice going on identifying this tool!
