Came across this at an estate auction.....no clue what it is. Anyone have thoughts? We had some thoughts on mole digger, coal scoop and ice scoop, but after Googling all of these, none look like this piece.
How about another pic, upside-down. Any writing? Anything move?
I will try to get another photo, this is all I had with me. nothing moves on it and I don't recall any writing on it.
Shaving ice ? Freddy Kreuger's comb ? Forget that one !
It's an ice pick, the patent for it can be seen on this page:

RobH......thank you so much!
This tool was used along with a coolerator ice cube cutter, which makes the cube shapes in the top of a block of ice. The coolerator was filled with hot water, it was then placed on top of a block of ice, and then melted into it, forming cube shapes, as seen in the patent drawing. Finally, your tool was then used to chip out these cubes. Here is the patent for the cube cutter:
