Wotzit Kraeuter Tool???

[Blue Hill]

Hi folks!
This is my first post.
I would appreciate any info you can give me on this tool.
The first picture is from this site, taken by p-nor. He speculated that it might be an offset chisel holder. Well I tried to mount a chisel in it today with zero success, so I'm back to the drawing board.
I can't seem to,post more than a single picture per post (from my iPad) so I'll add a couple more in subsequent postings on this thread.
The remaining pictures are mine.
The markings are VL-43 A1 Diamond K logo.
The one end appears to have been meant to be struck with a hammer, like a chisel. The other end is adjustable/removable by using the thumbscrew.

It looks like some version of a caulking iron.

This Morning I had a look at two old catalogs one from the 1930's and the other one from the 1940's without much luck. Blue Hill many way to get a close-up shot of the K-logo something that I can blow up ?

Wish I could help you out but no luck so far.

I agree with franklee, it's a valve guide punch.

Thanks Woody. I'll post a picture of the logo tomorrow.

OK twertsy, but what do you suppose is the purpose of the screw clamp part?

I really don't know but I'd have to guess it's made for a specific engine, where the screw clamp part grabs onto something to keep it properly aligned.

Blue Hill thank you for the close-up shot I am still in the dark I went back looking for VL-43 A1 with not much luck so I am still in the Dark.

While going through twertsy's web-site I came across something interesting in seeing a #643 water pump pliers design that look like and old craftsman design from the 50's.

Well the hunt goes on as they say!
