    Hello.
    Anyone know what this is?? It is about 10" long, metal prongs, wooden handle , some kind of grooved rubber type edge and numbers, of which the top ones I can't make them all out. Bottom set is a PAT # it looks like. Nothing on it moves or repositions.
    Thanks

      Thank you bancroftr35. That should not have happened. I appreciate you telling me about your Father. At least now I know the person who invented this tool & maybe some recognition for him will result.
