I bought this on my recent trip to Colorado and can't find a match for
it by name or description. Pictures at
http://people.musc.edu/~gormanj/scraper/
It's a Millers Falls No. 38-2½ according to the info on the ferrule
which bay be blocked by the flash. I thought it was a machinists
scraper, but even if it's not the price wasn't enough to worry about.
thanks,
Joe

It looks like one of my machinists scrapers.

It is a machinists bearing scraper. That is the reason for the
curvature.
Looks like it could be a reamer. The machinists scrapers I've seen are
triangular, like a file.
Maybe it was to break the edge of holes and remove burrs? I guess that's a
kind of scraping.

The triangular type was originally made for chamfering the edges of babbit
bearings. This type is made for fitting the bearing bore. Yes, it is a
machinist's tool.
