What Is This?

Anyone have any idea what this is?


The 3 "cutters" have serrated edges on them.
Looks like it would fit in a lantern tool post.

Probably not, but the first thing that popped into my mind was an old piston ring groove cleaner. I have no idea for sure.

A saw set for really stubborn people who are determined to make it work somehow?

Can opener?

An opener for Pandoras box, I would not use it!

Sounds like I have a true whatzit.

Here is another pic from a different angle.

Probably way off base...but...it sort of gives me the feeling of a spring winder to be mounted in lathe tool holder.

A rare Wife keep away from the shop tool, it also has the result of having You only "thinking" of Your love life instead of any participation.

Does it have any markings on it?

Are the "serrations" the same on all three of the cutter-things? I want to say it looks like something for chasing or cleaning threads.
