Pat Oct 27 1891

Any ideas? It's either Nickel plated brass or silver, non-magnetic.
Found on the side of a hill in Southern CA.
No patent number, just a pat date.

Looks like it might be some sort of plastering or tile laying tool for working on curved surfaces .

I could believe that one.

Non-Magnetic... Perhaps, stainless steel 1991

I'm leaning towards a specialty scraper. Like for moulding paint removal.

Sorry Angelo,
This one won't work, it's way too flimsy for that.
As far as the date goes, it's definetely 1891, not 1991 because they don't do that on items anymore (Pat Oct 27, 91).
Anyone know of a way to search this patent date without a patent number associated with it (yes, I already tried google, etc.).

Yes, the mistery is solved! It is a cake decorating tool.
Someone on Kinzli's ID'ed it.
Thanks!
