Curry comb missing the bristles ?

Somebody had a better idea. Is there a patent date on it, anything that might give a clue?

I can almost picture a guy 60 years ago using this tool on a 5 # block of ice , on his porch .

Could find a couple online that listed them as meat tenderizers, but said little else about them, here's one: Vintage Antique Rare Unique Wood Handle Trident Meat Tenderizer Tool | eBay

More conclusive, half way down this page they list the patent date and inventor: Whats-It? Page
It was patented Nov. 1 1898
They reference this patent: https://www.google.com/patents/US613572
