Mystery piece that came with Poco #0 Proofing Press
Does anyone have any insight into what this piece would be used for?

Truly a mystery, especially when we can’t see it.
Apologies, was having some technical difficulties uploading the photo on Chrome. Here is the picture, it is about 12-14 inches in length. Would love to know if anyone has any thoughts.

There is no part of any Poco proof press I know of (I don’t know them all!) where such a tool would be needed or useful. It looks to me like either some specialized kind of draw-saw or a tool for cleaning out narrow grooves in some other device, or a tool for measuring something precisely, in increments of about 1/2 an inch as set by the intermediate device clipped onto the toothed blade. Somebody at the Early American Industries Association might recognize it.
