John,Hi, Jeff, yes, that is indeed a lathe tool holder, probably early 1900s vintage, it would look right nice on my 9" Monarch Jr. lathe.

They are made for a rocker tool post.John,
How do you get the tool height correct?
This is mounted in an Aloris. I am bottomed out.
Be that as it may be, they were made for metal cutting, as an alternative to forged tools.From the dust in the box I’d say their used on a wood lathe. Also you can see the wood dust buildup just below the cutting edges I think.
