Have no idea what this was for other than a had out at a lodge meeting.
The one I have measures 7" total length x 1 3/8" wide (Blade). It appears to be a novelty item rather than an actual tool.
This is also one of the many items which were in a keepsake box, which had belonged to my late father or his Uncle...my Great Uncle.
That is a tuck pointing trowel. I have a couple of them.
Now days they call a jointer a tuck trowel. This is used by a mason to point up bricks and block to keep them solid.

It's a letter opener from the Masons, in this case from the Hartford Lodge
AzTom,
Ah, thank you so much. My Great Uncle was a Mason.
