Can anyone identify this tool and tell me its purpose? I inherited it when I purchased a C & P press. The label reads: Star Graphic Systems, South Hackensack, NJ. The logo is stamped: DYMO. Thanks!

It’s for cleaning the vents on the mouthpieces of Linotypes and Intertypes. Star made these, and a lot of other third-prty stuff for linecasters.
It is Star Parts p/n Z-16, used for exactly what parallel_imp said. Here it is as shown in a Star Parts catalog.
