looks to me like it's for smoothing a bead or something - but there is
no
brand name or clue to be sure

Sheet metal debur tool. Used by drawing it along a cut edge on a piece
of sheet metal.
The two tabs are for using your thumb and index finger to steady the
tool and help
guide it when working with curved cuts, and allows added pressure on
the deburr process
while helping keep your digits away from the sharp edges.

It's a deburring tool. The wings are there to save your hand from burrs
and sharp edges.

thanks to both of you - I'd never seen such a thing - and I could have used
it this weekend if I had only known
