    Approx. 4" long, 2" in height and 1 1/2" in width(not counting screws) It has 4 "set" screws, 2 on each side, to hold something in the "slot" through the center. Wood "spacers" hold the two sides at a set distance apart and are fastened with screws and do not appear to be adjustable. No visible markings or lettering.

      Looks like part of a plane or scraper

      I think this a handsaw jointer. place a flat file in the slot and run it over the teeth of the saw. Used when one wants to cut new teeth with different spacing, or if the saw was poorly sharpened--it erases the mistakes.
