    Looks like a lathe tool.

    It’s hard to tell, but my guess would be a key easing tool. The pointed end for the balance rail hole and the spade end for the bushings. A side view would help.

    Wim -  You get a 'C' for Courage, for being willing to guess, but I doubt it.  (Note: I also don't think Chris C's "lathe tool" is correct, and YES, he also gets that  'C')  It would be helpful, or at least interesting, to see a side view.  Working assumption is that the other side looks the same. Knowing the actual dimensions might also help guide the conjecture.

    Fred Sturm - Is there any reason to suspect this is, in fact, a piano tool?
