Mystery Tool

Anyone identify this cast iron tool ?
The main body hips marked ‘3’ as is the serrated piece.

Certainly has that cobblers look (eg Barnsley of Sheffield) but I've not seen this style before.

Fashion driven, heel shaves - to get that year's in-fashion convex look to the stack of hard heel/sole leather that made up the heel.

some of the fancier versions look like small chairmakers convex spokeshaves and come in half-a-dozen different curves
