The local used refrigerator store had a cleanup the other day and put some things out in front marked "free". I brought home this tool because it looked like it may be useful. It's made by the Watsco Co. who is listed as a maker of refrigeration tools but I couldn't find anything about it. It has two cutting blades made of steel rule die stock that can be angled. There is a backup pad made of some sort of fibre. Any ideas about what it's for? Engineman
I couldn't quite make out the US Patent number on the photo showing it.
If you'd put that number into a Google patent search you'll likely get your answer.
I spent a few minutes fiddling with your image trying 2493517 and a few other guesses, but didn't pull up anything like your pictured tool.

You can tell for sure that I've got too much time on my hands today.....
Here 'tis, and it IS a reefer tool:

Jeeze, Jeff. I thought you just got new glasses.
It looks like a Matsco product. Nevahoiduvit.

Looks like a notcher for corners on sheet metal to bend up the sides
