Default What is this mystery Pratt and Whitney tool ???

I think this is probably quite old, but so far I have no idea what it is
(or was part of) - there is another like it that has been sharpened to use
as a boring bar - clearly that was not its original purpose. the one
pictured in the drop box appears to be original - but orignal what, is the
question.

here are the links to the drop box:

Anyone got any clues about this item?

The text file from the drop box is reproduced below:

Mystery Pratt & Whitney tool - the cylindrical shank is exactly .500
inches, it says on the

shank, the following:

NO. 32
HS.-36
E-12

P&W
MFD CT
Made in USA

it is NOT a drill bit. The part that extends beyond the 1/2 inch diameter
shows a wear line

like it was riding in a keyway. The point seems to be lathe turned, the
1/2 inch shank

appears to be ground
