Just acquired this set up tool. No makers name .older model . maybe Starett Has. Nice scrapping marks. What a tool ..it will com in handy ......
 
Pictures please?
 
You could use it that way , for layout work , setting up tools an work.....
 
I'd check it on a surface plate if you think it's really a setup tool - might just be a bench block that was used as a practice piece for scraping - the radial scraping right above knurling suggests (to me, at least) that it wasn't really scraped in for application, but I've been wrong before... There was this time in '87...

It doesn't look like scraping to me. The markings are present in the groove and on the sides of the block. Some pickling processes leave surface finishes that are similar. I would vote for a bench block.

Bench block sounds good.i guess they have all kinds....
 
I would guess it got badly oxidized then cleaned up.

Looks like some of our mystery estate sale finds, after the nasty was cleaned off.
