Post by: Grant Lamontagne on June 11, 2013, 10:45:55 PM: I would say that is a crate or box tool. I have a more contemporary one, and while odd looking, they are fantastically useful.

Good to see you back!

Yes, small vampires... It's letter opener size. Just about perfect for an action figure... Maybe Thor

We can't discriminate against the small vampires!

Tool for prying up lids and nails, hammering them back in and the pointy scraper for breaking the tax stamp seals and voiding them out. After 1868, before 2014. Most had advertising in them. This was a nice one made just for personal use. The collar is sterling, the tool has much pitting and even some green patina in spots.
