1898 block/swage identification help

Good Day!

I found this yesterday at an antique shop - so of course I had to have it. It's stamped "PAT D Jan 25 98".

Can anyone help me identify it and it's intended use?

I'll probably use it for forming something down the road, but  I'll have to figure out a way to hold it (probably in my post vise).

Either way, it was very cheap and I'm not one to pass up a bargain -lol.

Thanks in advance for any help in identification.

Oh wow - thanks Thomas! I was struggling on another patent website - trying to filter through 24,000 hits - lol. Well - now I can make eave troughs - ha! It'll be a useful for some project I haven't discovered yet. Thanks for your help!
