Mystery antique tool, need help to identify, Please


I found this item in my Great Grandfathers toolbox who was a master carpenter. I have spent hours searching and I cannot find anything that describes it. It has a rubber handle, with “2oz” on it, 3 1/4” long x 2” wide x 1 7/8” deep just a red cap. The metal is hollow. I cannot find any identifying marks,5 7/8” long x 3/8” wide x 3/8” deep, just the metal. Total 9 3/8” length x 2” wide x 3/8 deep. I did think maybe a type of hand drill? Please help! Thank you!!

Yep. Used for fine detail creation on soft wood. You have any pix of his work? Master craftsmen do amazing work. My grandfather worked wood and built grandfather clocks as a side biz.

 

Thank you for your reply! I am in the process of tracking down some of his work currently through my Aunt. He did work on some well-known landmarks here in Oregon Crown Point, Pittock Mansion, and Timberline Lodge. I am in the process of donating his tools and I have to identify them in order to donate them. Here is a picture of his Makers Mark Stamp and him working at the Pittock Mansion. Thank you for your help!

 

Thank you so much for your reply!!! This helps me a lot!
