One of my all time best tools. This is a Bell System KS-6854 Bridgeport. Flat head Screwdriver. It is special designed to work on old bell system telephones. This one tool refurbished many 100's, if not a thousand, vintage phones that were put back to use.

Actually took me a lot of research on this one. It came from my MIL's house in Toledo. The wedge end was for chipping off ice chunks from a block of ice and the square (tenderizer) end was for smashing the ice for drinks.

Wow! I think you are correct that this is an ice hammer. Love it!, that is exactly what this thread is about, trying to figure out what these old tools were used for. :) And maybe they were used in ways we have entirely forgotten.
