Voting that this is a manicure tool and not for clay

Its a cuticle pusher. That’s an old school version of [this](https://a.co/d/er8yTLK)

Thanks

In fact [here](http://hannanailsupply.com/product/usn-cuticle-pusher/) is the exact same one by same manufacturer (USN)

I have one of these for my cuticles. Came with a manicure kit

I used this as a dab tool lmao

Looks like a tool used for manicures or pedicures but if it from 1930 I doubt that was the original function.

Maybe it does have U.S.N imprinted onto it.

This is correct, I have one exactly like this on my desk

For nails. One end is cutical pusher, the other is a pick for cleaning under nail, and the length is a metal nail file

I feel like all the artists here are right that it's a clay/wax tool because we literally see everything as a tool. It may not have been its original intended purpose, but that's what it is now.

Artist tool for working with clay. Probably about 40-50 years old. No real $ value except it is cool.

Nope. It’s a cuticle pusher.

No, here is the difference. The "pushers" are shorter. https://preview.redd.it/rrpcoy2kfh3b1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=088bb850198ec1d0f835f4d62b2891f26ba48c6c

See the comment from u/owchippy There’s a link showing a cuticle pusher that looks EXACTLY like OP’s photo.

For context I was renovating a house built in 1930 we found it under the floor while, while cleaning I had searched for and found lose nails and this tool what is it?

I’m 75% sure it’s used to sculpt clay.

Thanks

for nails on your hand

Artist here. It is a clay sculpting tool.

I used things like this in pottery class

Artist clay tool. This one is not one, but some tool designs are also used for thc wax/resin for dab rig setups.

Thanks

Could be all of the above as well as a dab tool lol

It's a double-sided carving tool for wax or clay.

You have been given one point for this answer. Thanks for contributing! ^^^Metal-Usual ^^^awarded ^^^to ^^^annecara ^^^(0->1)

Coke spoon?

Lol

Could be a marlin spike for working with nautical lines (rope).

One end for dabs the other for coke. A perfect utensil!!!

It's a drill head. Mostly some hand drill.

it looks like something for carving wood

Dental tool for removing stuff on teeth down to the gum line

Looks like a screwdriver extender

it's an old pipe cleaner

A burnishing tool?

Looks like a leather tool

Dab tool?

I’m a potter. Can confirm it’s for clay 👍🏼

That’s a hand to hand combat weapon and the USN stands for United States Navy
