Another "Does anyone know what this is"?

[Aura]

I have had this for so long I don't remember where I got it, and for all that time I have had no idea what it is. I has Dasco-1936 stamped on it but a google search brings up nothing close. It shows evidence of being struck on the back side of the curve on each end. It just lives on my workbench.

Seal puller?

What sort of seal would you pull with it?

Maybe this company?

Caulking chisel? Is the flat end flat or radiused across the face?

Flat. Here are a few more photos:

I'm thinking some type of plumbing (caulking) or masons tool. Or it could be one hell of a back scratcher.

The chisel looking tip, looks a lot like the chisels used for removing old mortar for re-pointing mortar joints. Dasco makes a straight chisel with a similar point that they call a plugging chisel. The plugging chisel they sell has a 3/16" wide point.

It is a plugging chisel. It was either bent or I kinda recall seeing one of those before, the pointy end would be used to rake out the joint after using the chisel end.
