    This is a small iron and I've no idea what it's used for. It's 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
    It came to me with a leather workers glazing tool.
    It's cast iron and there are no marks on it, it's obviously old.
    Does anyone know what it is?

      It is shaped like a pointed (pointing) trowel, but I can't see where the small size would have a practical application.
