This belonged to a relative in their 90s who worked in construction. It is functional, but the condition is poor with scratches, dirt, rust, white paint, and writing in marker. There is a crack shown in image 3, but it seems okay for now.

It's compact and has a hole for attaching a string, making it seem easy to use. How about as a Showa retro vintage item?
