It is a convention give-away tool used to determine whether or not a hammerhead
is square to the hammershank. Simply lay the short, bent over part on top of the
hammershank, move it so that the long, narrow part runs along the hammerhead
molding and see that the hammerhead is square to the shank. 
 
When replacing hammers it is used to draw a line along the centerline of the
original hammerhead molding on the sample hammerheads (those left in place to
align the new hammerheads to). This can be quite helpful if the original
hammerheads have been badly mis-shaped over the years.

Hello,
I found this in one of my tool boxes and would like to know what it is? It is
aluminum, has Baldwin written on it and is about three inches long.  Looks like
some sort of gauge but I'm not sure.
 
Thanks,
Jack Houweling
