A neighbor found this in the barn of his homestead in NC...

It's a little hard to see in the pictures but the three rivets have points and seem to be there for more than just holding the "glove" together...

Kinda looks like some kind of a cable sheath ripper.

A corn tool is what I first thought but like I mentioned when you have the thing on your hand it seems the thee hard points are there for a reason...like something for gripping ??...

Nobody has definitively been able to say for sure so I'm hoping a TBN'er has seen something similar as it looks to be homemade ??
