This is easy...it's a henweigh.

Looks like a bucking bar ... used to form the "worked end" of a solid rivet.

Here is a selection.

Anvil hardy.... or most likely a forged step stake to place your foot on some farming tool...

Too angular but looks a little like a dollie you'd use to shape sheet metal for bodywork.

Either a blacksmiths tool or a body work tool. Could be used to get dents out of cars if he was a body man

 

[2NinerNiner2]

Bucking bar.

Either a blacksmiths tool or a body work tool. Could be used to get dents out of cars if he was a body man

Or put the dents in when work was slow

I'm going to buy one, hide it among my tools, and drive my kids crazy after i am gone when they try to figure out what it is....

Now that you know what it is take it to these guys and see what you can get for it:

They pay better than the LasVegas guys.
Someone got $45.00 for goat that was too small to even be a runt.

Check the link in my post #23 ... 59.99 for the set

Additional info:

In two-person riveting, the following signals using these bars, to tap on the surface being riveted, indicate to the person "driving" the rivet gun :

1 tap = start riveting / hit 'er again
2 taps = that's good!

Yay! Mystery Solved.

Thanks all for the ID on this curiosity.
Do you think "bucking bar" is a reasonable name for a device to oppose when banging on a rivet? I'd think "hard head" might be more appropriate

I like "bucking bar"...but then I have the mind of a six year old:Big Laugh

Whether or not your mind is in the gutter, if you were to walk onto the hangar floor of any aircraft maintenance facility and ask for a "bucking bar" you would be presented with a vast selection of these It is called a "bucking bar" because that is what one is doing with it ... bucking the rivet

Which is why it is never a good idea to offer to carry an aircraft structures technician's tool box ... they're loaded with these things!

I don't believe anyone carries them.

I don't believe anyone carries them.

... yes, not the "stay-at-the-hangar" ones, but their "road trip" ones ... stay away!!! Man, you should hear them SLAM when they come down the luggage carousel!
