Brick chisel?

It's a calking (sp?) chisel for sealing cast iron drain vent stack pipe with jute/sisal and lead.
Thank you for the information. Any clue as to why it doesn’t come up in a search with that number as that particular tool?

No idea why the Craftsman part number isn't found.
Calking chisels are old school. The Craftsman version could be uncommon.
You could peruse some old Craftsman hand tool catalogs.
Here's a page from a 1940 Plomb catalog with plumbing chisels.

Well let's see, I last saw a drain pipe caulked with lead and oakum sometime before 1974. Will go poking through the Sears catalog CD, see what I find.
Used to be putting a 9 in front of your parts # would make it pop up in Google, but that didn't work today.
More later, but the lead packing makes most sense to me, in case that wasn't obvious.

Could handle have been cut off? Apparently same part number. Business end looks similar.

This is a gasket scraper, and there is little likelihood that OP’s “chisel” is or was ever a gasket scraper.Could handle have been cut off? Apparently same part number. Business end looks similar.

Some manufacturers reuse old product model numbers for items that have been discontinued for a while, with Starrett being an example.
A “chisel” for tamping in lead and oakum packing material for waste pipe joints would be concave down the length, to fit the rounded opening between the wider bell on the ond of waste pipes, and the waste pipe being inserted and sealed.
This type of tool would have been a standard plumbing tool any supply store carrying plumbing tools would have wanted to offer.
Philadelphia and New York City both required cast iron waste pipes for commercial buildings, at least up until recently, and cast iron was the standard for quality if you go back a few decades.
Yeah I didn't notice shape in OP's pics I thought it was flat.

That was my first thought, but if you look closely at the picture, the leading edge is blunt, not sharp like the cutting edge of a pneumatic rivet cutter.
Similar concave shape, though.

G-circle = unknown U.S. manu. ca. 1949 - 1964 (as late as 1973 on ripping chisels)
1959 Craftsman catalog pp 46 - caulking irons
The catalog snip shows the OP's 43295 "Concave Type" caulking iron, as well as @3baygarage 's 43325 and 43345 right hand and left hand caulking irons.
