Mystery tool

[spandit]

Found this amongst a load I bought a few months ago (there's a smaller one too). The tang is obviously meant to fit into a handle like a file but there are no teeth and the edges aren't especially sharp

Looks like a hand de burring tool.

That is a bearing scraper. It was used to scrape white metal and lead bearings. The tang would have had a wooden file type handle. Don't see them very often now, bearings have been replaced by ready machined shell bearings or sprayed metal bearings that are machined to fit instead of being hand scraped. Is used with engineers blue to check fit.

Great stuff as usual! They were mainly metalworking tools so bearing scraper fits the bill.

Who wants to buy two bearing scrapers?

I have a couple of those made out of old files, I knew what they were got no use for them though

It's a white metal bearing scraper.
Got one my self for a project on a old side valve engine I did for s*its and giggles a couple of years ago.
